To become 1 of 2 hospitals in the nation to become an Advanced Orthopedic & Spine Center of Excellence (COE) we had expert clinical leaders backing our efforts. Meet Our COE Champions: ☑️ Joy Melgar-CNO ☑️ Christine Dugas-RN, Ortho & Spine Navigator ☑️ Dr. Sean Michael Rider, COE Medical Director Along with Monica Sibille-RN, Director of Quality & Risk, and our other COE Physician Champions, we have worked diligently to develop and implement clinical pathways and processes meeting DNV requirements including participating in a 3-day rigorous survey process. This achievement affirms AVALA’s commitment to enhancing the patient experience and, above all, to provide first-class quality care to our communities! #avalahealth #wecare #DNV #spine #spinesurgery #orthopedics #centerofexcellence #teamwork #team #leaders
