Advanced ICU Care Recognizes Nurse

ORANGE CITY, Fla., May 11, 2017 Advanced ICU Care, the nations largest provider of tele-ICU (intensive care unit) services, recognized Florida Hospital Fish Memorial ICU nurse manager Kerry Putegnant with the 2017 I SEE YOU CARE award.

Advanced ICU Care is Florida Hospital Fish Memorials partner in providing high-acuity telemedicine services in the ICU, and this award recognizes the collaboration between bedside care providers in the hospital and Advanced ICU Cares remote critical care teams.

There were four categories of recognition hospital, administrator, doctor, and nurse and Putegnant was one of only eight award recipients, selected from more than 65 hospitals across the nation.

Putegnant was recognized in a ceremony at Florida Hospital Fish Memorial on May 11 and was also honored with a donation in her name to the Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Foundation.

We are so proud of Kerry and thrilled that Advanced ICU Care has recognized her for the excellent care she provides in the ICU, as well as her skilled leadership as ICU nurse manager, said Rob Deininger, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial CEO. This award recognizes the teamwork and collaboration between our staff here in the hospital and the remote tele-ICU staff. It is this collaboration that is critical to caring for patients in the continuous care environment of an ICU.

I am truly humbled by this honor, said Putegnant. Every day in the ICU, we strive to provide our patients with the very best care. To be one of eight recipients in the nation, it gives our team a sense of validation to the care we provide around the clock in the ICU.
