A Note from Leadership:
As the director for our critical care units, I "get to" lead an inspired group of caregivers every day! This inspiration comes from the compassionate care and teamwork we share with patients and each other. Our team has embraced the tasks necessary for the delivery of safe, quality and patient-centered care. We know it is an honor to be at the bedside to serve our patients and their families. We are transforming patient care at The Villages® by incorporating our service standards: Own the Moment, Make Meaningful Connections and Create Confidence. You will want to be a part of this innovative, caring and collaborative team!
