HOISINGTON — Clara Barton Hospital Operating Team week earlier this month.  
Each year, the Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) emphasizes the importance of teamwork in the operating room and with this in mind the theme “Collaboration for Patient and Worker Safety” was selected.  
“This theme really speaks to the cultural and environment of Clara Barton Hospital’s OR team,” said Kim Tutak, Director of Surgery Services at Clara Barton Hospital. For patients this means they will receive a collaborative team environment that enables the best possible surgical outcome.
For the OR health care worker, including the surgeon, anesthesia provider, register nurses, surgical assistant and other assistive personnel, collaboration leads to workplace safety and a more positive work environment.
“Whether you are having an outpatient surgical procedure or a procedure requiring an inpatient stay, you can trust the OR team at Clara Barton Hospital, to meet your needs before, during and after your surgery,” said Tutak.
Clara Barton Hospital employs nine health professionals that comprise the OR team with more than 110 combined years of OR experience. Clara Barton Hospital is fortunate to have the caliber of personnel that we have”, said Tutak.  
Clara Barton Hospital would like to acknowledge the excellent work and dedication of the OR team.
