While there, the group enjoyed learning about some changes to the future certification process, networking with connections and other Planetree hospitals, and attending sessions on person-centered care. There were a few other highlights, including: 1 Security officer Jesse Kirkendall receiving a Caregiver of the Year Award. He was nominated after winning the CMH Spirit of Care Award during Hospital Week in spring 2023. Congratulations to Kirkendall, an integral part of the CMH Security team! 2 Patient Experience Department Manager Kristen Moss being acknowledged for her recertification as a Fellow in Person-Centered Care (FPCC). This was her second time being certified, and she was one of three people who recertified this year out of a class of 50 who earned the FPCC certification. Great job! 3 CMH being recognized for its fourth time certifying with Planetree and second consecutive gold certification (the gold/silver/bronze levels were implemented in 2019). Credit for our recertification is due to all of our caregivers and their commitment to person-centered care. We are so grateful for the hard work they put in at CMH every day!
