EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT MOVES TO TEMPORARY QUARTERS
Taking a major step closer to a new emergency department, Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island’s emergency services moved on January 29, 2008, to temporary quarters in the MacColl building.

Stretchers piled high with bandages and wheelchairs filed with boxes of supplies supplemented the flatbed trucks and carts whisking through the corridors in the overnight move. Staff members helped to transfer equipment, supplies, patients and their families to the interim facility.

Located in the former site of the hospital’s inpatient rehabilitation unit, the transitory facility will enable Memorial to continue to provide emergency care while construction and renovation of the existing department takes place.

Walk-in patients will go through a clearly marked entrance accessible from the existing emergency department parking lot and follow a corridor to the new location. Rescue vehicles will use a separate entrance adjacent to the new quarters. Completion of the new emergency department is scheduled for the fall.

Jose Aguiar Receives CARES Award
J Aguiar CARES photo for web.jpgCongratulations to Jose Aguiar of Environmental Services for being selected as a recipient of a Memorial Hospital CARES Recognition Award.

The CARES "Above & Beyond" Award recognizes those hospital employees who exceed and exemplify standards of Courtesy, Attitude, Respect, Excellence and Service.

When an employee's car became stuck with the keys locked inside and the engine running during the major December 2007 snowstorm, Jose helped the driver get her keys, shovel out the car and get on the road. When the police and AAA were unavailable, Jose helped by breaking a small rear window, taping cardboard over the hole, and pushing out the plowed-in car.

After the driver became stuck a second time, Jose came back outside and stopped a passing snow plow driver. Together they gave the car the final pushes needed to get it and the driver on the road home.

We are grateful for Jose's kindness and his willingness to repeatedly assist another employee during a time when she needed help during the worst snowstorm of the year.
