Awarded $680.00 to Clinical Education to purchase bags for diabetic booklets and information that is given to BCH inpatients by the nursing staff. The bags keep all educational materials in one location so it can be easily taken to outpatient educational visits with Diabetic Educators and physicians.
"The BCH Ambassadors have awarded The Grillo Health Center funds to pay for the annual subscription to Clinical Key which is database software that is used to provide accurate medical information to BCH patients and families. This information assists in making important health care decisions, encourages pro-active collaboration and better use of time with physicians, keeps patients out of the ED, and helps patients stay healthy.
The BCH Ambassadors provided us $1500 to purchase children's bike helmets for the Prevention Program through Trauma Services at BCH. This program is a community outreach partnered especially at Valmont Bike Park to provide un-helmeted children-in-need with helmets. Trauma Services partnered with Avid4Adventure, the organization that provides the children's program at VBP." -Trauma Coordinators, Joan Palen RN, BSN and Kristy Line-Glicksman, RN, BSN
