Mesa View Hospital Seeks Patients’ Choice In Nursing
Moapa Valley Progress
Submitted April 16, 2008

Mesa View Regional Hospital will select a nurse for the Patient Choice Award that will recognize the quality care, comfort and compassion offered by the nurses at the hospital, honoring one nurse in particular. This new award which solicits input from the community will culminate with one nurse at Mesa View receiving the Patient Choice Award during Nurses’ Week, May 6-12.

Why would Mesa View be asking former patients to be so involved in spotlighting an exceptional nurse, rather than making the choice internally? “Sometimes it’s just too hard to spot one nurse when there are so many nurses in our hospital doing such an incredible job caring for our patients,” said Mary Jo Mattocks, Chief Nursing Officer for Mesa View. “That’s why we are asking patients to help us make the choice. They see the little things that matter so much on a very personal level.”

Those who have come to Mesa View for inpatient, outpatient or emergency care in the last year and have a nurse they would like to thank, should forward a nomination. Nominations for the 2008 Patient Choice Award will be accepted until April 30.

To nominate a nurse, send the nurse’s name and a few paragraphs explaining your nomination, along with your own name address, and phone number. Email, mail or fax nominations to mark_buchanan@chs.net or mail to: Mark Buchanan, Marketing Director, Mesa View Regional Hospital, P.O. Box 3540, Mesquite, NV 89027, Fax: 702-346-5450.
