I would like to recognize Doug for his commitment to patient safety in the Behavioral Health Unit. Doug observed that patients were wearing different colored scrubs, a deviation from standard practice that posed a potential patient safety risk. He promptly brought this concern to the attention of management, allowing the team to address the issue before it could affect patient care.

Doug’s attention to detail and his proactive approach reflect our shared commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment for both patients and staff.

Thank you, Doug, for demonstrating our safety values in action!

His director, Kim, describes him as caring, proactive, detail‑oriented, dedicated, and committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our patients. Doug, your instinct to speak up, your vigilance, and your willingness to act quickly embody what it means to be a guardian of patient safety. You don’t just do your job, you elevate the standard for all of us.

Your work reminds us that quality is not a department; it’s a mindset. And you model that mindset every day. St. Catherine is lucky to have you as part of our Quality family.
