"The UMHS ECMO Program subscribes to the “patients and families first” philosophy. Communication, compassion, quality of care, and education are tools of the trade as we help families and friends cope with the severe illness of a loved one. Extracorporeal support is provided for the neonatal, pediatric, and adult populations with collaboration and teamwork of our nursing and medical leads. The application of this support is initiated when traditional supportive measures fail. An ECMO Transport team makes it possible to transport patients on ECMO from other healthcare facilities.
The uniqueness of extracorporeal support attracts the interest of all health care professionals. Internationally recognized as a leader in extracorporeal life support and research, the program serves as an educational resource to other health care centers. As a provider of a truly unique and highly technical service, the ECMO Program recognizes its place in the healthcare community and understands the importance of public relations with our local, regional, and national referral base."

"Many of our patient and family customers assume we have the most advanced knowledge and equipment available. What will make or break their experience is the way they were treated as a person - whether we make eye contact, communicate in a timely fashion, are honest and sincere, are “in the moment” with them. Amidst our ever increasing technology and automation, Nursing needs to be ever vigilant in advocating for the patient/family."

"To achieve optimal patient goals/outcomes, I believe we must incorporate evidence-based practice into our nursing care, and promote research. Also, it is important to facilitate a partnership and respect among all staff in different disciplines/departments, and with patients/families. Finally, I believe supporting and facilitating staff members to achieve their professional goals and to have opportunities to gain and share knowledge with colleagues is a high priority. Creating an environment which supports professional and personal growth is key. One of the great advantages of this diverse institution is that there are multiple opportunities in various fields of interest."
