Letter of Appreciation for Advanced Wound Care Staff
Dear Mr. Hayes,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation and thanks to your wonderful staff.
Everyone, including receptionists, doctors, nurses and physician assistants, was so professional and kind to me. Their treatment of my broken toe was second to none. They are top notch in their field. They always carefully cleaned and dressed the serious wound on the big toe of my right foot.
Your staff was also very compassionate and sensitive to my needs. In addition, they are polite, cheerful and many of them even have a great sense of humor, which is a refreshing change from stuffiness often encountered with medical staffs.
My final visit was last week where I bade a sad "good-bye” to all of your personnel. In addition to being my healthcare custodians, they were also like a family to me and also to my wife, Ginger.
You should be proud of your exceptionally fine medical staff.
Sincerely yours,
Robert E. (Bob) Ziel

Please give a warm welcome to Shane!
Shane was born and raised in Southeast Idaho.
He spent six years in the United States Marine Corps where he led a Shock Trauma platoon. During his time in service he found his passion for the health care field and nursing.
After the military he received his Bachelors in Public Health Education with an emphasis on Epidemiology. He then shifted his focus and earned his RN and CHT.
When Shane is not working he enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and 6 year old daughter. As a family they love everything Idaho has to offer year round in the great outdoors. They spend most of their free time skiing, hiking, or riding their bikes.
Shane looks forward to this amazing opportunity and the many challenges ahead as the new manager of Advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric departments.
Welcome Shane Hayes!!

CELLPHONES SHOULD NEVER ENTER A CLEANROOM EVER!
Prescription Center recently conducted an experiment to find out exactly what lived on cell phones. They sampled 5 different people’s phones from pharmacy and nursing and had the MVH lab identify the organisms found on the plates.
Results:
Phone #1 had Staphylococcus species, environmental bacillus species, and Micrococcus luteus (this is found on dust). Pretty normal things to find from the environment and skin.
The rest were not as great.
Phone #2 had Proteus species on it and bacillus. The proteus overwhelmed the other colonies. It looks like they had other Gram negative rods that we couldn’t isolate. This is consistent with stool.
3, 4, and 5: all had Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, some other Staphylococcus species, Bacillus species, E. coli and Klebsiella. Klebsiella and E. coli are also consistent with stool flora.
With this, everyone should be mindful about where their cell phones goes, how often we clean them, how often we wash our hands, and that CELLPHONES SHOULD NEVER ENTER A CLEANROOM EVER!
