View Static Version THE DOSE MARCH 27, 2024 ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MR. MICHAEL J. SWARTZ NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY On March 29. VA WNY joins the Vietnam War Commemoration to continue honoring and thanking all those who served in the Vietnam War, their families, and caregivers. Any Service member who served on active duty, regardless of location, between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975, is included in the commemoration, which lasts through Veterans Day 2025. Approximately 9 million Americans served during the Vietnam era from Nov. 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975. More than 6 million are still alive. I want to acknowledge all of America’s Veterans, their families, caregivers, survivors, and the great VA employees—many are Veterans themselves—doing incredible work every single day for all the Veterans we serve. HIGH RELIABILITY ORGANIZATION - HRO One of the HRO principles is committing to a culture of safety. By sharing safety stories at the beginning of meetings, we can foster a culture where people feel encouraged to report close calls or near misses. Sharing safety stories also showcases the ingenuity and determination of our WNY VA HCS Staff! When you write your safety story, think about what you want people to learn and remember. Submit Your WNY Safety Story PUBLIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT REQUESTS Reminder: Submit Public Affairs Support requests via the Leaf system. Allow for a two week turnaround time for your request to be processed. Submit your Public Affairs Support Request CALLING THE SWITCHBOARD REMINDER Please remember to identify yourself as staff when calling the Switchboard. Especially if you are calling from a cell phone we only know you are staff if you tell us. Additionally, it is very important when you need to call a Code to either call our Code phone at x22222 or say “Call a Code” to VOCERA. This allows us to address the emergency as efficiently as possible. Thank you for helping us to serve you better.

THE DAISY AWARD FOR EXTRAORDINARY NURSES DAISY HONOREE: DAWN TIRABASSI, RN DAISY Honoree: Dawn Tirabassi, RN A colleague shares their story of an extraordinary nurse…… RN Tirabassi braved a snowstorm to reach the home of 90-year-old veteran, who had been unwell for several days. Upon arrival, she carefully assessed his condition and quickly recognized the severity of his illness. Without hesitation, she had him transported to the VAMC emergency. Throughout his hospitalization, RN Tirabassi remained a pillar of support for his family, keeping them well-informed every step of the way. When it became apparent that the Veterans condition was declining, she provided comfort and guidance to his devoted wife as they prepared for the difficult transition to hospice care. Despite her demanding schedule, RN Tirabassi made it a priority to visit the Veteran during his final days, ensuring that he felt the presence of someone who truly cared. Her unwavering dedication and compassionate care brought solace to a family facing a difficult time, leaving an enduring impact on all those she touched. This WNY Healthcare System employee recognition program is an opportunity for staff members to recognize their peers that exemplify exceptional customer (internal and/or external) experience based on the National Patient Experience (PX) program Own the Moment training.

When viewing the eclipse safety is paramount. According to NASA: It is not safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Always inspect your eclipse glasses or handheld viewer before use; if torn, scratched, or otherwise damaged, discard the device. Always supervise children using solar viewers. Viewing any part of the bright Sun through a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter secured over the front of the optics will instantly cause severe eye injury. Seek expert advice from an astronomer before using a solar filter with a camera, telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device. Note that solar filters must be attached to the front of any telescope, binoculars, camera lens, or other optics. NASA Eclipse Information LGBTQ+ HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK 2024 March 18-22, 2024 marked LGBTQ+ Health Awareness Week. This year, VHA’s LGBTQ+ Health Program raised awareness of heath care for LGBTQ+ Veterans, with the theme “Equitable. Inclusive. Respectful. The health care you deserve. VA is here to serve the Veteran you are.” Timothy Ward and Brittany Raderman gave a presentation to VA Employees on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). This inclusive term that applies to everyone, whether they identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirit, heterosexual or cisgender (identifying with the same gender that one was assigned at birth). Tim and Brittany discussed how to better serve our LGBTQ+ Veterans and meet their health care needs.
