Our Board of Trustees empowers us to be Here for Good for our neighbors in South Jersey. Our members represent the highest ambassadors of our culture, and few embody this mission like Grayling Johnson. As a renowned architect for over three decades, Grayling is a champion for healthy communities. His work with our facilities team, among others, reflects a desire to make life better for the people of this region. And Grayling’s commitment to giving back goes beyond Virtua. It can be seen in his long-standing collaboration with St. Joseph’s Carpenter Society in Camden, a nonprofit organization that provides affordable housing. And not to mention, he is a proud lifetime member of the Deptford Fire Association and began volunteering at age 16. It's for these reasons, and so many more, that we are proud to present Grayling with the WE Award for Outstanding Board Leadership.

Catch a sneak peek of our new Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit opening this fall! Our colleagues at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital recently got to tour this new 18-bed space, which will be equipped with the latest advancements to deliver the best care possible for all neurosurgical and neurological emergencies. This is just one of many upgrades currently taking place at Lourdes!

The hospital can be a scary place sometimes, especially for kiddos. But thanks to colleagues like Christina Conlan and our team of child life specialists, we're able to make that experience significantly more comfortable.   In this episode of "Here for Good: Inside Edition," Christina walks Dennis through the meaningful work of our child life specialists. From creating themed events so the kids don't miss out on big moments to helping parents who might feel overwhelmed, this team makes such a difference for South Jersey families.   Catch the whole conversation here: https://bit.ly/4cIgHZQ

Dr. Syed Riaz, you take our breath away! Well, technically, as an interventional pulmonologist, you do the opposite, but the metaphor still stands! Anyway, can we take a moment to congratulate Dr. Riaz on completing his 50th robotic bronchoscopy using the ION navigation-guided technology? For added flex, he completed all 50 cases in 50 days. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy technology is changing the game in lung care. This tech empowers our team to reach 80 to 90% of suspicious lung nodules, reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
