Boone Memorial Hospital celebrates National Surgical Technologists week. Held September 19th-25th, the week is dedicated to recognizing surgical techs and the dedication and hard work they give all year.
“Our operating room and entire team is top notch,” said Terri Castle, RN, BMH Chief Nursing Officer. “If you’ve ever wondered how operating rooms seem to run so smoothly, you have a surgical technologist to thank. They’re responsible for properly setting up the room, arranging necessary equipment, and even assisting physicians during surgery.”
Surgical technologists are essential – not only in the operating room – but to kids and families, to local nonprofits, churches and charities, to local businesses, to neighborhoods, causes and communities, to friends and colleagues, to the profession and to the public. Surgical technologists are essential every day in so many ways!
“They have some extremely important job duties,” said Scott Terlikowski, RN, Director of BMH Surgical Services. “They make the operating room efficient while ensuring patient safety. I’m very proud of our two Certified Surgery Technologists (CST); Landyn McKinney and Judy Puckett. They go above and beyond. We truly appreciate all they do!”
Whether you are celebrating your profession yourself or with your team, YOU are essential! Thank you for all you do!
