Throughout 2024, Tricia not only built up our team but also built a culture of resilience, mindfulness, strength, and support among the entire team, giving us vision and purpose.
A name that is echoed through various departments, clinics, and hallways of RRH with a level of respect and appreciation is Patricia Fioravanti. Since being a part of the Ambulatory Care Management team, I’ve met a wide variety of individuals throughout the system who do nothing but provide high praise for Tricia, sharing their personal experience with her, the support she provided them, and how her leadership helped shape their perspective in their current day practice.
When observing Tricia’s specific leadership to Ambulatory Care Management team, in the beginning of 2024, she had taken on a team of four “battle torn” Care Manager’s who for an extended amount of time had to fight through the trenches to make it through their days, taking their all to help hold up the department. She immediately worked on hiring individuals to fill the largely vacant openings in the department, and I am fortunate to have been the first of several to follow. Throughout 2024, Tricia not only built up our team but also built a culture of resilience, mindfulness, strength, and support among the entire team, giving us vision and purpose. She empowered the “original four” to educate us all and be the support we needed, while she also checked in with myself and the other new Care Manager’s frequently, ensuring we felt like our needs were met, any resources needed, her insight from her own experience, and always provided us words of encouragement to keep pushing through as the team was being built up.
A huge aspect of Tricia’s leadership is acknowledging the balance of work and life beyond. It seems that life has thrown many of us on the Care Management team a variety of hard blows over the last year as we have been building up the team. Tricia has always been thoughtful in being able to navigate each situation, making sure our needs can be met first and foremost, while helping to ensure we meet the needs of work as well. During these times, she has been able to pull our team in a little bit closer to enhance our culture of caring for one another, creating connective teamwork amongst us all through her guidance. Ultimately, our team is a quilt made up of many different pieces that may not always seem like they should go together. But due to Tricia’s mindfulness, dedication, leadership, and pure sincerity, she has been able to thread us all together into one of the most cohesive teams I’ve ever had the honor of being on.
