ABOUT
Since its inception in the late 1880s, Penrose Hospital has been infused with
vision and dedicated to clinical excellence, whole-person care, and serving the
unique needs of its communities. Founded by the Sisters of St. Francis and the
Sisters of Charity, Penrose Hospital celebrates the value of each person's life
by lovingly offering care to people regardless of who they are, what they
believe, or where they're from. We seek to combine finely honed medical
skills with a compassionate touch to care for the whole person, body, mind, and
spirit. In this manner, we strive to create healing sanctuaries that carry on
the ministry of Jesus Christ.

NURSING CARE CONTRIBUTIONS
Professional Nursing contributes to care of patients at Porter Adventist
Hospital and the surrounding community through the following services:
Bariatric Center of Excellence:
Penrose Hospital is currently the only Certified Center of Excellence in the
southern Colorado region. Our Bariatric Program Coordinator (RN) provides pre-
and post-surgical education to the patients as well as conducts an ongoing
monthly support group. While giving post-operative care, our highly trained
bariatric nurses continue to reinforce this education and provide support to the
patients and their families through this life-changing surgical experience.
Nurses and other members of the multidisciplinary team throughout the hospital
champion the use of enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery.
Cancer center:
Penrose St. Francis cancer program has received designation as Centers of
Excellence from the Commission on Cancer (CoC), National Accreditation Program
for Breast Centers (NAPBC), National Quality Measures for Breast Centers
(NQMBC), National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC), American
College of Radiology (ACR), Lung Cancer Screening Center of Excellence (LCOE)
and is a member of the MD Anderson Physician Network. These Cancer Centers of
Excellence demonstrate that our oncology nurses are nationally certified,
providing the highest level of expertise in delivering chemotherapy, radiation,
medical, surgical, and end-of-life care. Nurse navigators support the patient
throughout their cancer journey from diagnosis to survivorship through
education, care coordination, support, and facilitation of hospital and
community resources. Radiation oncology nurses provide targeted treatments and
assist patients in reducing side effects from those treatments. Clinical
research nurses provide care and support to patients enrolled in clinical
research trials. Palliative care nurses support end-of-life decision-making and
pain management throughout the cancer journey. Nurses facilitate multiple
community support groups, integrative therapies, cancer screening, and community
events to help patients through their cancer experience.
Cardiac care:
Our cardiology nurses are dedicated to the care and health promotion of the
community. When patients come in with a heart attack or any heart or vascular
abnormalities, we offer a quality continuum of care from our emergency room
nurses, that provide prompt interventions to our certified nurses on the
cardiology floor. Our goal is for heart attack patients to receive care for an
average of 60 minutes or less, a full 33% faster than the American College of
Cardiology national benchmark of 90 minutes. Patients receive quality skilled
care from our vascular center nurses, where we have a vast cath lab and
electrophysiology lab services. Our dedicated cardiac unit has cardiac and
telemetry trained nurses to support, monitor, and manage any cardiac and
vascular symptoms. Our cardiac rehab nurses help with education and help prepare
patients physically, mentally, and emotionally for return to work and normal
family and social life. We have a strong structural heart program where our
structural heart NP helps patients navigate and coordinate all testing and
procedures needed for TAVR, mitral clip and watchman procedures from admit to
discharge care follow-up.
Intensive care:
ICU nurses specialize in caring for a broad spectrum of patients that require
extensive monitoring and an advanced level of care. Our patient population
includes medical, surgical, trauma, stroke, and post-operative cardiothoracic
patients. Our nurses provide care to trauma patients aged 15 years and older and
medical/surgical patients aged 18 years and older. The diverse patient
population challenges nurses to continually develop an extensive skill set. ICU
nurses encounter a variety of patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass
grafts (CABG), valve repairs, aortic aneurysm repair, as well as those that
require intra-aortic balloon pumps (IAPB), Impella (left ventricular assist
device), and continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD/CRRT) support. Stroke
care offers both systemic and intracerebral tPA as well as any needed euro
interventional radiology (NIR) procedures. We believe in a multidisciplinary
approach to providing excellent patient care. Our interdepartmental
relationships allow our staff to treat patients and families holistically. The
team works together towards a common goal of excellent patient experience and a
welcoming work environment. The ICU leadership and staff promote shared
governance through the dynamic unit and hospital committee involvement. Nurses
are encouraged to further their education and career through certification and
continuing education.
Emergency and trauma care:
Our emergency and trauma nurses deliver care continuum through all stages of
life. The nursing team implements care delivery protocols that are
evidence-based and provide superior outcomes for sepsis, geriatric, stroke,
cardiac, medical, pediatric, and trauma patients. Nurses utilize evidence-based
guidelines for triage which assist in decreasing wait times and provide prompt
or immediate emergency care for high acuity patients. Our nursing team has
assisted in the achievement of Level I Trauma Certification from the American
College of Surgeons at Penrose Hospital and Level III Trauma Certification at
St. Francis Hospital; additionally, Primary Stroke Certification from the
American Heart Association at both campuses.
Medical/surgical care:
Nurses care with compassion for patients needing general medical and/or surgical
services. Acute care nurses have protocols to reduce hospital-acquired
infections to influence hospital length of stay and increase patient comfort.
Advanced training for our patient population has been completed in order to
provide proper care for our various medical diagnoses.
Neurology care:
Nurses provide care to patients through the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical
intervention process. There are nurse stroke coordinators who lead the Penrose
St. Francis Hospital Stroke Certification process, ensuring top-level care for
stroke patients.
Outpatient care:
Gastro-Intestinal Lab: GI lab nurses prepare and care for patients needing
procedures like endoscopies or colonoscopies. Infusion services: Penrose St.
Francis provides high-quality short- and long-term infusion services for a
variety of illnesses with a focus on comfort, compassion, and convenience. Our
infusion centers are staffed with registered nurses certified in
chemo/biotherapy administration, pharmacists, pharmacy techs, phlebotomists, and
schedulers who all specialize in outpatient Infusion and chemotherapy services.
Therapy is provided in a stress-free and comfortable environment. Ostomy clinic:
At the Penrose Ostomy Clinic, our specialty nurses, certified in ostomy and
wound care, excel in providing care for patients living with stomas and for
those patients considering ostomy surgery. Our team provides care to all
patients that have had their ostomy surgery at Penrose St. Francis hospitals,
and we also see patients that are living with stomas that need additional
assistance and/or are interested in updates to their ostomy management systems.
Perioperative care:
Nurses work collaboratively with surgeons, anesthesiologists, techs, reps, and
other support staff to care for the patient undergoing surgery. Whether
preparing patients for surgery, working with them intraoperatively in the
operating room, or focusing on their post-operative treatment, nurses remain a
vital pillar to patient-centered care. Nurses' primary job functions and
interventions in perioperative care include patient education, safety awareness
for both patients and staff, infection prevention, and interprofessional
communication. Our nurses ensure that they are at the top of their field by
achieving certifications including ASPAN, CAPA, CPAN, and CNOR.
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) team:
The PSF PICC/VA nurses provide ultrasound-guided vascular access via PICC,
midline, and difficult PIV placement. They lead CLABSI prevention efforts by
providing evidence-based specialty care, as well as patient and staff education
at both Penrose and St. Francis campuses.
Spinal care:
Nurses provide compassionate care to those undergoing spine surgery or treatment
for spinal trauma. Alongside a multidisciplinary team, nursing prioritizes early
and frequent mobilization, increased pain control, and the education needed to
continue healing after discharge.

NO ONE DIES ALONE PROGRAM
No One Dies Alone (NODA) is a national volunteer-centered program started by
Sandra Clarke, CCRN, at PeaceHealth (Eugene, OR) in 2001. Its goal is to provide
companionship and support for dying individuals so that no patient dies alone.
The program is now a model for compassionate end-of-life programs in hospitals
across the country. The program began at Penrose Hospital oi July 2000 and
strives to provide compassionate companionship to the dying who have no family
or friends to be with them in their last days to ensure that they do not die
alone.
No One Dies Alone trains hospital associates and volunteers to become
compassionate companions who offer end-of-life presence and support to patients
who are near the end of life and who have no family or friends at their bedside.
Trained volunteers provide 24-hour availability to dying patients who do not
wish to be alone. During the vigil, companions may hold the hand of the patient,
play soothing music, read to the patient and assist in other comfort care
measures. They serve patients in shifts, sitting at the bedside until the
patient death or a family member arrives.
The heart of this work is about being rather than doing, about the compassionate
presence and heartfelt intention rather than fixing, solving, answering or
resolving issues for others. To be a calming presence and truly compassionate
with another requires no small amount of personal and spiritual maturity, as
well as a capacity for reflection on the volunteer’s life.
No One Dies Alone volunteers receive orientation and training that is more
process-oriented with an appropriate amount of content and protocol to provide a
framework for the volunteer to be successful. All No One Dies Alone volunteers
must be either a Penrose Hospital associate or a volunteer through Penrose
Hospital Volunteer Services and have been volunteering for at least three
months. No One Dies Alone gives Penrose Hospital associates the opportunity to
provide comfort care to patients outside of their regular work day. Penrose
Hospital associates must register with Volunteer Services, complete a No One
Dies Alone application, be interviewed, and be accepted as a No One Dies Alone
volunteer, and complete the No One Dies Alone training prior to beginning to sit
vigils.

PROFILE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Profile Employee Assistance Program is a full-service employee assistance
program headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It began in 1982 at
Penrose Hospital and is now backed by the facilities and resources of the
Centura Health System. Profile EAP is an employer-sponsored benefit for both the
employee and the employer. We provide confidential assessment, short-term
counseling, referral and follow-up services for employees and their immediate
family members. Our goal is to help your company reduce absenteeism, on-the-job
accidents and substance abuse, and to decrease escalating health care
costs. Studies have shown that a well-managed EAP reduces absenteeism by 66
percent, health care costs by 86 percent, and worker's compensation claims by 30
percent.
