Doggie Brigade goes EPIC!



The hospital is transitioning to a whole new computer system called EPIC. As you can imagine, this is a huge undertaking that will affect everyone who works and volunteers here!
To celebrate the 'Go Live' day of June 1, everyone has been encouraged to make an EPIC video... Including the Doggie Brigade!

Yesterday 8 teams plus our Mentor, Ken McCort, gathered in the Atrium to make our brief video:

Gilda and I also made some patient visits prior to the video and got to see some smiles. Gilda was very happy to get there (until the untimely fire alarm at least) and really seems to understand what her job is while she is visiting. I can't think of a better volunteer job in the world...
