Dear Ohio Chapter of SCCM Members,
As many of you are aware, May is National Critical Care Awareness and Recognition Month (#NCCARM). To celebrate, we gave away nearly 30 #BlueICU T-shirts by lottery to chapter members and have been introducing you to each of our board members and committee chairs on social media. If you have not seen these posts, please check us out on Instagram (@sccmohiochapter) or Twitter (@SCCMohio). We hope to continue the celebration in the months to come, with a shift to highlighting member achievements. The Ohio Chapter wants to shine a spotlight on each of you, our colleagues who make a difference every day caring for patients and their families in what is often their most vulnerable moments in life. This past year brought upon us unprecedented demands, both physically and mentally. Your steadfast service to our community was uplifting and deserves recognition. Watch your email and social media for additional information coming soon. In the meantime, please nominate your team/unit for a group recognition with our monthly cookie award. Use the following link to submit your nomination: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WYQYMMX
It is an exciting time period for the Ohio Chapter as we are busily planning for 2021-2022 activities. Thank you to everyone who attended our Annual Business Meeting in March, your feedback and input was invaluable.
