Dana Kabrey, RN is the new Chief Nursing Officer at Oswego Community Hospital. She has over 28 years of experience in the medical field. Medical Surg. , Intensive Care, Critical Care, Hospice and Nursing Home administration are just a few of the fields she brings to the "Family Centered Care" model the hospital and clinics.
In regards to the level of care she found at the hospital she remarked, "They have exceptional care. The nurses are very well educated. All of the patients we take care of, we treat as our own family."
Comparing the larger hospitals in the area and Oswego Community Hospital it is a more personable level of care. "Patients are treated with kindness, dignity and respect. That is the way the foundation is set here."
As she reflected on a patient's experience with the emergency room she related that a person came in and was greeted. They were admitted and stitches were done.
All of the services were delivered within a few minutes. This time in and out doesn't compare with the time spent in larger facilities for emergency services.
The one thing that stood out most to Dana was the fact that recent patient surveys indicated they would 100% recommend Oswego Hospital, Oswego Clinic or the Chetopa Clinic to a friend or relative. part of the reason for such a high positive response may be due to the short wait time before going into the room to see a doctor or mid-level. Many reported times as low as 15 minutes to wait.

Women who smoke are now just as likely to die of lung cancer and other smoking-related diseases as men -- and smokers of both sexes die, on average, about a decade earlier than non-smokers.
These were among the findings from two major studies examining death rate trends among smokers published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
"The studies highlight the fact that cigarette smoking remains a leading cause of death in the U.S.,” says Steven A. Schroeder, MD, who directs the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center at the University of California, San Francisco.
Everyone knew it was coming: Flu season's back, and there's no telling how mild or wild it will be. The severity of each season is unpredictable.
Same goes for ye olde common cold, which also strikes this time of year. But thanks to scientists who are constantly working to learn the best ways to fight germs and build a better flu shot, it's gotten easier than ever to protect yourself. Follow their advice, and this could be the year you don't get sick.
Flu season runs from October to May, so if you haven't gotten jabbed, now's the time. The vaccine takes anywhere from two to four weeks to take effect, and it lasts for at least six months, so if you get it now, you'll be primed for the flu's peak in January or February.
