Lost 94 pounds on her Journey to Wellness!
After the birth of her son, Caitlan Bose, Community Relations Assistant at SLCH, had a goal to get back into shape. This was no easy task for Caitlan; her first time running she couldn’t even make it down the bottom of her hill. Week after week, Caitlan started to run because she realized it was “her” time free of stress, all emails and phone calls would have to wait. After she was able to run three miles she signed up for a half marathon to challenge herself. She anticipated walking it, but surprised herself once again and ran 13.1 miles straight. Since then she has run in Double Dash, Lap 4 Life and is running in Hartford Half Marathon.
The most personal race awaits Caitlan in November. She is training to run the New York City marathon which is 26.2 miles and is using a program called “training peaks” a personal training program that can be downloaded to your phone. Caitlin’s participation in the NYC Marathon will benefit the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Not only has Caitlan achieved her own wellness she runs for the wellness of others.

 St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital (SLCH) is proud to announce its September Star of the Month. Heather Osmin, RN, an employee since 2010, has shown extreme dedication to patients and co workers at SLCH.
“Heather is a tireless nurse who assists her colleagues and is recognized outside the unit as a go getter and a pleasure to work with,” said Tracey Horan, Clinical Nurse Manager.
Although Heather has only been with SLCH for two years, at this early stage in her career she already stands out as a leader. She has participated in a charge nurse initiative and has taken a larger role in the operations of the unit, with a particular focus on ensuring that exemplary patient care is provided. Heather’s hard worked paid off when her floor received high Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (HCAPS) scores.
Joining Heather is Tracey Horan, Clinical Nurse Manager 5N; Jeenie Drexler, CNM Nurse Manager; Joan Cusack, VP Chief Nursing Officer; Rob Ross, Executive VP; Margaret Deyo, Nursing Administration.
Congratulations Heather!
5N Received the highest scores for the quarter and also the most improved. Keep up the good work!

 Maureen Monahan recognized a problem that her congestive heart failure (CHF) patients were facing they didn’t have access to bathroom scales at home. Patients with this chronic illness must weight themselves daily to monitor their fluid status and maintain a state of well being. Maureen reached into her own pocket and purchased scales so her patients could have them.
Kathy Mason wrote an article about patients not having access to scales that was published in American Journal of Nursing. Kathy donated the $150.00 she received for publishing the article to SLCH to establish the “Daily Weight Fund” to promote scales to CHF patients.
