A Letter From Our Chief Nursing Officer

At AdventHealth Celebration, patients and families trust our nurses to deliver whole-person care crossing various care settings from Emergency Department, to one of our specialty care services, to the Transition Clinic extending care through the complete continuum. Our nurses serve patients and families with expertise and compassion to support recovery to an optimal state of health and well-being. As a Celebration nurse, we combine advanced technologies, clinical skills and knowledge to deliver leading-edge care and services. Our destination services support the most up-to-date treatment options as well as rehabilitation services to enhance a full recovery. Our nurses are committed to excellence, dedicated to person-centered care, and embrace the mission to Extend the Healing Ministry of Christ.

As the Chief Nursing Officer, I am proud to work beside award-winning, Magnet recognized nurses. AdventHealth Celebration achieved Magnet recognition in 2018 and is currently completing the process for redesignation, in 2023. Magnet is the highest national honor for professional nursing practice received from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). This program provides a foundation of knowledge, skill, training that results in a positive work environment to support all nurses from a new graduate, just beginning their career, to the most skilled of practitioners. We are also proud of other recognitions including Baby Friendly, Leap Frog Grade A, and Becker’s Top Places to work in Healthcare (2023), and Best Hospitals US News (2022-2023) AHA Gold Plus Get with the Guidelines, Certified Comprehensive Stroke Program, Advanced Certification Spine Surgery, Certified Knee & Hip Replacement, National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers and Bariatric Comprehensive Center under MBSAQIP.

Our nurses are partners with the multidisciplinary team, each other, and most importantly, our patients and families. Their commitment to professional development, evidence-based practice, research, innovation, compassion, teamwork and our mission is the foundation for a culture of excellence, where consistent practice and the voice of nurses helps guide the process of continual improvement. It is my privilege to work with this amazing group of nurses. I invite you to learn more about this special team and the exceptional care they provide every day to our community and beyond with a goal to Extend the healing Ministry of Christ to all.

This program includes nursing staff from every unit who make decisions together to:

Leading the Way with Research and Innovation

Our nurses are not just reading about new research — they are actively conducting it, continuously improving and ensuring we can provide the best care possible.

We encourage our nursing staff to be inquisitive and provide them with the support they need to complete the research and find their voice in health care.

Recognizing Extraordinary Nurses

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award honors and celebrates the skilled, compassionate care nurses provide every day.

Established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes in 1999 after his death from autoimmune disease complications, they created the award to publicly thank all nurses in honor of the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his loved ones during his hospitalization.

Recognizing Extraordinary Team Members

The Iris Award was developed to recognize outstanding team members without whom the nursing team would be incomplete.

The three leaves of the iris represent faith, wisdom and valor. As a sacred flower, it was said to have healing powers, and each supporting team member brings these values to the critical role they play in excellent patient care.
