Re: Job well done!

To whom it may concern,

Please allow me to thank the entire staff at the California Nurses Association for their continued support for safe and efficient healthcare, as a pro-bono advocate for the prevention of Healthcare Associated Infections(HAI) in our Veteran’s Hospitals I really appreciate it.

Below is a recommendation of support I posted via Linked- In for Ms. Sharon Schultz, CNE/CCO at Tri-City Healthcare District(TCHD). For a non-healthcare advocate, to address a medical facility, the chain of command comes to mind  but the recommendation is directed at the entire nursing staff at TCHD. The challenges to staff have overcome in the past few years and still maintained several high quality of service is commendable in any industry. Please note the reference in the San Diego Tribune article, the cultural aspects concerning the prevention of HAI, does the California Nurses Association play a role, our Veterans are counting on your support in my humble opinion. This article is most profound, the comments from the healthcare professionals represents a culture in transition, HAI should not be an acceptable workplace hazard in addition to the unsustainable cost for the great state of California associated with HAI and re-admittance and I do believe the California Nurses Association is the key to moving the healthcare industry even further.

As members of the Patient Partnership Council 2014 at Tri-City Healthcare District(TCHD) my wife and I had the opportunity to engage Ms. Schultz and her staff concerning healthcare from a patient’s point of view, the most impressive commonality in their culture, in my humble, was the way they listened.

As business owners, profound knowledge gained for us, passion for the task at hand, most impressive, we could all learn something from these professionals.

The numbers are in, they speak for themselves, regardless of circumstance, Ms. Schultz and her staff perform.


The employment of both science and creative management strategies has created a safe and efficient healthcare facility which now seems to be inspiring leadership at TCHD, from the Honorable Board of Directors during last month’s Board meeting, “there is no reason why or facility should not be competing with the top facilities in the nation” and my favorite, “we should have another Board meeting every month to spend more time with quality issues”?    

A big meeting fan I am not but it has been a lot of fun observing Ms. Schultz and her crew at  TCHD and from the sounds of things, “the fun is just beginning” and it is quite infectious.

As a pro-bono advocate for the Prevention of Healthcare Associated Infections(HAI) in our Veteran’s Hospitals, there is plenty of good out there and I am thankful for all that Ms. Schultz does for others, the root cause of this recommendation and an inspiration for my continued advocacy for those who served, the first HAI free healthcare facility will improve outcomes for our Veterans. 

Sincerely,
