Health News 05/03/2017

May 3, 2017 By Mary Rathman

Buster’s job is pet therapy
Buster works for Canines for Christ as a therapy dog, and even has his own business card. He ministers to patients at Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel, as well as other places. When Buster is not helping to ‘heal,’ his favorite pastimes are chasing squirrels and playing with squeaky toys. Buster’s proud owner is Pat Metcalf of Lutz.

 

Hospital promotions
Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point has announced these promotions:

  • Jessica DeMauro, director of wound care. DeMauro was promoted from her position as director of patient experience. She has a master’s degree in Healthcare Administration from Indiana University and a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Purdue University.
  • Dina D. Credo, director of critical care unit. Credo has been serving as interim director of the critical care unit since last September, and has been serving in nurse management since her employment at the hospital in April 2009.
  • Sherry Pressner, vice president of human resources. Pressner comes from Citrus Memorial Hospital where she had the same position, and has been in various human resource positions within the HCA system since 2009.

Cup of Compassion
The Crisis Center of Tampa Bay hosted the 14th annual Cup of Compassion fundraising breakfast at the Tampa Convention Center.

More than 500 guests gathered to support the center’s mission: To ensure that no one in our community has to face crisis alone.

The event raised $360,000 through donations, pledges and sponsorships.
