CovingtonCares Magazine - Fall/Winter 2024

We are thrilled to announce the release of the Fall 2024 edition of CovingtonCares, a publication by Covington County Hospital. In this issue, we’re excited to highlight two departments whose vital contributions often go unnoticed yet are integral to the overall patient experience. Our feature on the Dietary Department explores the role of personalized nutrition in patient recovery. The dietary team creates specialized meal plans tailored to specific medical needs, working closely with providers and nurses to ensure nutritious and appealing meals. Their efforts contribute to faster recovery and enhance the overall patient experience. We are often complimented on the shininess of our floors – our team takes great pride in setting the standard for floor care. Our Environmental Services staff are the unsung heroes who maintain the hospital’s cleanliness and safety. Doing everything from sanitizing patient rooms to ensuring infection control, this department is on the front lines of preventing hospital-acquired infections and creating a healing environment. We dive into how their meticulous work keeps the hospital running smoothly, ensuring that patients, staff, and visitors are in a safe, clean environment. Last but not least, we are proud to highlight the exceptional teamwork of our Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Emergency Room (ER) staff in early recognition of stroke symptoms. With stroke being a time-sensitive emergency, our teams are now better equipped than ever to provide rapid, lifesaving care, ensuring that patients receive the immediate interventions they need. The teams' commitment to excellence underscores Covington County Hospital’s dedication to delivering high-quality care in every critical moment. Together, these departments exemplify the compassionate and comprehensive care provided at Covington County Hospital. We hope this edition of our magazine gives you a deeper appreciation for the people who, through dedication and expertise, play such an essential role in the health and well-being of our patients. We are honored to serve your healthcare needs and thank you for choosing Covington County Hospital. Gregg Gibbes, CEO MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
