Mary Federico, RN

Mary Frederico  works for Parallon Workforce Solutions at Menorah Medical Center in the Kansas City area. In honor of Nurses Week, the healthcare system shared a story in which late one evening this spring, a 90-year-old woman fell bringing a letter out to her mailbox and broke her hip. The woman was taken to the hospital, but couldn't recall any phone numbers to notify her family members, who were all in the process of flying into town to celebrate her 90th birthday. Mary volunteered to physically track down her granddaughter, based on information the woman provided about the area and vicinity in which she lived.

It is nurses like Mary that support our mission for excellence in nursing.

Congratulations Mary! 

Have you participated in the many offers taking place in celebration of Nurses Week 2016? 

A recent article published on the Huffington Post discussed that, as the population ages and more people have increased access to health care under the Affordable Care Act, the U.S. may need as many as one million new nurses by 2022- in less than 10 years. 

Last Friday, the Parallon Workforce Solutions MSP Team accepted the "marshmallow challenge" in preparation of our Workforce 2.0 go-live. This challenge is a fun activity that encourages teams to experience simple but profound lessons in collaboration, innovation and creativity. The marshmallow challenge is a fast and powerful technique for improving a team’s capacity to generate ideas and build rapport. This lesson also reveals the true nature of collaboration, illustrates how each person innovates and emphasizes the importance of diverse perspectives.

A lot of people think our job is to recruit, but that’s not the way we view sourcing. The way we see it, the job we do saves lives. We may not know an atrioventricular from a vena cava, but we know people, and we’re incredibly passionate about what we do.

During National Hospital Week, Parallon Workforce Solutions celebrates hospitals and the women and men who support the health and wellbeing of their communities through dedication and compassionate care from the heart.

On behalf of the entire Parallon Workforce Solutions team, we would like to send you our warmest wishes on Mother's Day! 

Nursing Colleagues,

This week, we celebrate National Nurses Week, shining a spotlight on the millions of men and women who care for others when they are at their most vulnerable. When illness or injury interrupts daily life, there is no one more important to a person in pain than a caring nurse. Not everyone can do this job, and we know that being a nurse is far more than a career choice; it is a calling—one that reflects a generosity of spirit that is unique to caregivers.

On behalf of the entire Parallon Workforce Solutions team, we would like to send you our sincerest thanks for your dedication and commitment to the nursing profession. We appreciate the important role you play in improving the health and well-being of local communities across the country.
