Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Samantha Breedwell as the February 2022 BEE Honoree. Breedwell, nominated by Dr. Landon Vinson and the entire ER Staff. She is being recognized for her hard work and helping others.

Nomination #1 from Dr. Landon Vinson:

On the afternoon of February 11, 2022, Samantha informed the Emergency Department staff that we were on backorder for IV start kits, which is a hugely utilized part of our daily use and routine. She then presented two large plastic totes with 60 kits and took it upon herself to make. She used supplies already available and combined them into individual kits, was able to make 60 additional start kits while we wait for back ordered materials, and did all of this on her own volition. This ingenuity, drive, and ambition is what makes this hospital a great place to work and makes us as providers and bedside caregivers feel supported and taken care of. These actions mean that when patients come in needing life-saving interventions and stabilization, we will be able to carry out our jobs and keep the community safe, all because Samantha realized the importance of her role in letting no detail go unnoticed. Job emphatically well done and my sincerest gratitude for keeping the engine of our hospital going.

Nomination #1 from the ER Staff:

Samantha came to the Emergency Department to inform us that the IV start kits are on backorder. Samantha has the individual supplies that come in the IV start kits but Samantha went out of her way to make up IV start kits to be readily available for use in the Emergency Department to save the staff time to locate each individual item. We as a shift appreciate her going above and beyond for our Department.

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Robyn Tatman as the February 2022 DAISY Honoree. Tatman was recognized for her professionalism and confidence in her role working in Surgery.

“I was recently scheduled for a much-anticipated surgery after enduring a chronic condition for many months. I was very calm and excited to finally getting in, as the procedure is only available once per month. Robyn was extremely welcoming and accommodating through the pre-op process. Unfortunately, as she administered pre-op meds, I had a significant reaction that we later learned was due to a very rare interaction between one of the meds and a maintenance medication I am dependent on to control the panic disorder I have had my entire adult life. Unlike an allergic or anaphylactic reaction, I experienced physical panic and anxiety that took over my entire physical and mental state. Along with the reaction symptoms, I was confused, alarmed, and very embarrassed. Robyn remained completely calm and professional, and also very soothing and reassuring. I could hear her quickly go to my medical record to try to identify which drug created the issue whilst doing everything she could to make m25

e more comfortable. Ultimately, my doctor and I decided to postpone surgery so I would be in a more stable condition. Robyn went above and beyond by kindly checking in on me almost daily for several days after. Robyn demonstrated great nursing for me and showed the best of CRMC greatly impressing my friend who came to care for me post-op, who later said “You definitely wouldn’t find care like that in Wichita.” Kudos and many thanks to Robyn.”

The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate nursing care they provide patients and families every day. This is a nationally recognized award.

The DAISY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, by members of his family.  Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little-known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. (DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System.)  The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Tina Page as the January 2022 BEE Honoree. Page, nominated by Laura Putman, and was recognized for her hard work and helping others.

 “Tina has been working with Jan and I in ICU for months as our Respiratory Therapist. She is always willing to go above and beyond to help us with whatever needs to be done. She has helped us change beds/patients, she has gotten our patients warm blankets when they are cold, fresh ice water when needed, and has assisted us in our lab draws and taking blood to the lab.  She is always there with a smile on her face, even when suffering from her own loss recently. She embodies what CRMC means to me, and she is family!”

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Carrie Wheeler as the January 2022 DAISY Honoree. Wheeler was recognized Sarah Hoy for her professionalism and confidence in her role working in the Resource Pool.

“Resource Pool can be a tough role to play – you never know which unit you will be assigned to or for how long you will be there before you are re-assigned, sometimes several different places in one shift. One day, Administration received a call from a patient that was so pleased with the experience that he and his friend had here that he wanted to take the time to share it with the CNO. This patient, like so many the past two years, had been diagnosed with COVID and needed an outpatient infusion. He called to share about his pleasant experience at CRMC from the beginning of his search for treatment through his entire care. He reports that he also had a friend with the same need. He was so complimentary of Carrie and her compassion, professionalism, and kindness throughout their time here for the infusion. What makes this extra special to me is that Carrie was assigned this task for one day in a pinch because of patient volume and this patient couldn’t tell that this wasn’t her everyday role. I appreciate Carrie’s willingness to go where the need is and shine bright for our patients. Thank you Carrie – you make a difference!”
