Volunteers fund nurse communications system


Dosher Volunteers recently donated $68,000 toward a new phone system to improve the efficiency of nurses and patient care technicians (PCT) responding to patient needs.

"We're now able to dial the nurses' extension and relay information instantly, rather than walking around the Patient Care Unit (PCU) looking for the nurse," Patient Care Director JoAnn Turzer-Commesso says. "The improved staff efficiency has been huge."
