Surgical Team Recognized

Some recognition for staff in the operating room of LaVerendrye Hospital in Fort Frances.

Riverside Health Care Facilities Surgical Services Team was named best overall performer among non-academic hospitals by McKesson Canada and OR Manager.

Director of Surgical Services Cindy Cole says its testament to the men and women working in the O.R.

"It's the entire team," says Cole. "and we have a great team of surgeons, nurses, anesthetists and housekeeping aids and it's a collaborative effort in how our day progresses through the surgical slate."

The award was given out based on Riverside's ability to meet or exceed a number of key performance areas.
