On November 13, Onvida Health was excited to host an exciting American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) event. This event featured two guest panelists: Jennifer Gutowski, Director and CEO of the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System, and our very own Onvida Health Chief Information Officer, Dr. Marc Chasin. The panel discussion for this event was "Disruptive Innovation in Healthcare Delivery," which explored how healthcare organizations innovated to quickly adapt after COVID-19, including telemedicine visits, social distancing, and general policies and procedures. Thank you to all who came and participated in this panel. We truly appreciate your dedication to building a healthier tomorrow!

And the award goes to... Onvida Health! 🏆 We are so proud that Onvida Health has been awarded the Pathway to Excellence designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)! This designation recognizes healthcare organizations that foster a positive and empowering practice environment, and we are the first in Arizona to achieve this outstanding milestone. Earlier this month, a group of our amazing nurses represented Onvida Health at the 2024 ANCC Magnet and Pathway to Excellence National Conference in New Orleans, LA. This group brought back fresh new insights, innovative ideas and the spark to continue leading the way in nursing excellence. To every Onvida Health nurse, this award belongs to you! Your dedication to exceptional patient care, teamwork and growth is what truly makes Onvida Health shine. Join us to celebrate this moment together because it's more than just a designation; it's a reflection of building a healthier tomorrow together. 🌟 #ANCCPathwayToExcellence #OnvidaHealth

Through this program, we provide free blood glucose meters, enabling patients to manage their health with confidence and independence What this means for our Yuma community: • World-class diabetes care right here at home • Reduced hospital readmissions • Better health outcomes for our neighbors This isn't just about awards – it's about our promise to you, Yuma. From our groundbreaking diabetes management protocols to our community outreach programs, we're committed to being more than just a health system. We're your healthcare partner, neighbor, and friend.
