"Nov. 11 is a day dedicated to celebrating and honoring those who served in the military. Veterans personify the essence of true leaders who serve through their willingness to place the needs of others above their own, often at great personal sacrifice. Their commitment to protect and uphold freedoms – while prioritizing the well-being of the nation – mirrors the principles of selfless service. Recognizing the contributions of veterans reminds us of the power of leadership in action and serves as a call to all leaders to embrace humility, service, and compassion in their roles. In this way, Veteran's Day becomes both a day of gratitude and a day of service – selfless acts that enable us all to prosper, create solidarity, increase awareness, embrace inclusivity, and foster respect and appreciation for one another." Newly appointed vice chair of the Veteran’s Employee Association, Gregory Stanford, reflects on the meaning of #VeteransDay :

Our students at the University of California, Davis - School of Medicine are always striving to improve the health of the community. On Saturday, the student-run Willow Clinic will host the 14th annual Veterans Day Health Fair. The event features medical care, haircuts, vaccines, social services, coats, winter survival supplies, food and more. The free, walk-in fair takes place at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 67, 2784 Stockton Blvd. “Everyone is welcome, especially people with housing insecurity because it’s one of the services we offer — helping people with housing,” said Morgan Murry, a second-year student at the UC Davis School of Medicine and Willow Clinic volunteer.

This Veterans Day, UC Davis Health honors all veterans and military-connected communities and the valuable lessons we can all learn from their examples. We extend our deep appreciation to our own veterans and active-duty service members in our health system, and recognize the courage and sacrifice of everyone who serves to protect our nation. UC Davis Health is proud of its close partnerships with key Northern California military partners. These include the local Veterans Administration (VA) hospital, whom we are helping to support with research, medical expertise, and PPE; and the David Grant Medical Center on Travis Air Force Base, where we rotate surgeons and emergency medicine providers to learn from each other’s experience with trauma. In addition, we help to keep their doctors and nurses, who may be called upon in war, to maintain high acuity practical experience while they are stationed in Northern California.

Congratulations to Mindy Burley, Davis 7 Pediatric nurse and very deserving recipient of our Nurse Residency Star Preceptor Award here at UC Davis Health ! The nurse preceptor’s relationship with new graduate nurses is essential to their successful independent practice and socialization into the healthcare organization’s culture. Preceptorship bridges the gap between the classroom and the clinical area where nursing is practiced. The preceptor creates an environment conducive to learning while building competence and confidence in new nurses, key for safe patient care and nursing excellence. Thank you, Mindy, for making the transition to practice for our new graduate nurses a success! According to preceptee Clarice, "Mindy Burley is an incredible preceptor in all facets. From the start of our time together, she ensured that she would always be here to support me, and she genuinely cared about my comfort and performance during my first few weeks. She is an exemplary teacher. "Mindy challenged me to become a better nurse from the very start, always asking me questions to test my critical thinking, rather than just giving me the answer. Mindy showcases her compassion in both her teaching skills and her patient care. She always informs her patients and families of any updates and thinks ahead to predict all needs. She leads by example and should receive the star preceptor award". #UCDavisNursing #UCDavisNurses #YouBelongHere #Precepting #PTAP #NGNRP #ANCC https://lnkd.in/emUk7YXd

Last month, we hosted the Rev PC Summit, which united healthcare experts and leaders to discuss declining primary care resources. We are proud to be a national leader in raising awareness about the declining state of primary care, which is affecting a growing number of patients. Factors include too little funding for primary care and outdated approaches to providing the funding, which harms primary care practices. The lack of funding leads to fewer physicians entering the field and others cutting back or leaving practice altogether. “The current state of primary care is bad and getting worse, nationally and in California,” Anthony Jerant, our chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine, explained, “and this is undermining our health and health care. At the same time, health outcomes in the U.S. grossly underperform other countries that spend less on health care overall, but invest proportionally more in primary care.” Read more about how we're tackling the crisis, re-centering relationships, and focusing on solutions to enhance health care: https://lnkd.in/gEZCKY3r

“During National Radiologic Technology Week, we honor the compassion, dedication, and expertise of our UC Davis Health radiologic technologists,” said Delane Mason , Executive Director for the Department of Radiology. “Every image they capture tells a story, providing vital support to patients, their families, and our providers by delivering critical insights for exceptional care. Their skill and compassion have a profound impact, improving lives and advancing the care we deliver every day. We are deeply grateful for the essential work they do to uplift and strengthen how UC Davis supports the community.” Happy #NationalRadiologyTechnologyWeek ! This celebration commemorates the discovery of the X-ray and recognizes the vital work of our Radiology team.
