April 18, 2022 Episode 139: Introducing the Jewish Community ARG
חג פסח שמח
That's "Happy Passover" in Hebrew. As the Jewish community worldwide celebrates Passover now through sunset on April 23, it's the perfect time to introduce the launch of an enterprise-wide Associate Resource Group (ARG) specifically for those who identify as Jewish and their allies. Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Peter Adebi serves as the ARG's executive sponsor, and Director of Talent Development, Dr. Allison Craft, is the ARG's initial lead, here to talk about the importance of this ARG at Nemours.

Karen Wilding, Nemours' new Chief Value Officer, explains her role with the enterprise.

April 04, 2022 Episode 137: Digital Evolution
The passage of a massive economic recovery act in 2009 marked a watershed year for the evolution of health information technology in the U.S. Paper medical records were on the way out, securely exchanged electronic medical records available to patients, and authorized providers were on the way in.

Yet Nemours had been preparing for this since at least 1996 when Dr. David West became Nemours' first Chief Medical Informatics Officer. He stopped by recently to talk about the evolution of health information technology during that time and where it's headed next.

March 28, 2022 Episode 136: That's What Friends Are For (featuring Nemours associate Dr. Steven Bachrach)
When Dr. Bachrach joined Nemours in 1987, he became a witness to - and a driver of - the changes that would occur here that helped set the stage for "Well Beyond Medicine," including the transition from an orthopedic-only institution to a full-service pediatric hospital, the establishment of a world-renowned cerebral palsy center, the building of a new hospital in Orlando, and the evolution of Nemours Children's Health into a full-fledged pediatric healthcare system. In this episode, Dr. Bachrach shares highlights of his distinguished Nemours career, memories of patients who inspired him, colleagues who have become his friends, and his perspective on change, retirement, and the Nemours culture that brought him here.
