Testimony from our CVOR facilitator:

"I have been on the heart team since the very first heart at St. Elizabeth's, 32 plus years ago!!  Alot of hard work but very rewarding.  
We have a great team that work well together and always put our patients first.  Patient safety and care  is a high priority.   We have large rooms and HSHS makes sure we have the equipment, supplies, and instrumentation we need.
 
I like having a dedicated heart team that work well together.  As the open-heart coordinator, I do my best to meet the heart team members request for no call days so they can have a work life balance. Our team is flexible and willing to help out as necessary.  We are fortunate to have some of the best nurses on our team.
 
We have two excellent surgeons, who want our heart program to have the highest rating, which I stive for every day.  And an added bonus is they are kind to work with."
