What a way to close out our ENA Tri-Chapter event. ✨

The second half of our evening at The Nook brought us together for an engaging presentation from Dr. Vu of Sharp Grossmont on current approaches to venous thromboembolism (VTE) treatment.

Dr. Vu delivered an insightful and captivating presentation on a topic that has a direct impact on the care we provide in the emergency setting. The discussion reinforced the importance of staying current with evidence, questioning old practices, and continually looking for ways to improve patient outcomes.

As emergency nurses, we have an important role in helping shape the culture of care. Our goal is to continue moving toward a practice environment where nurses are empowered to understand the evidence, advocate for best practice, and help drive meaningful improvements in patient care.

A huge thank you to Dr. Vu for sharing his expertise and to Penumbra for hosting such a meaningful evening.

Three chapters. Shared knowledge. Better care.

What an inspiring day at the LifeSharing Best Practices Symposium! 💙💚

From powerful personal stories shared by Natalie Gonzales and Katie Gonzales to evidence-based strategies that improve donation outcomes, today’s symposium reinforced the incredible impact of organ donation and transplantation.

One statistic that stood out: 44% of families surveyed reported declining donation because they were approached too late. Early referral and effective communication are essential to honoring patient and family wishes while maximizing the opportunity to save lives.

Our biggest takeaways: this is a team effort, how are you communicating, early notification is key, compassion and empathy, and connection.

Thank you, , for bringing together healthcare professionals, donor families, recipients, and community partners committed to the gift of life. We are grateful for all you do to educate, advocate, and improve outcomes throughout our region.
