On Wednesday, October 5th, the Leadership Emanuel class met at Emanuel Medical Center where they discussed inspiring a shared vision. The group focused on knowing your “why”, enlisting others with shared aspirations, and the importance of listening first and often. After discussion, the leadership class was given a tour of Emanuel Medical Center (EMC). Damien Scott, CEO of Emanuel Medical Center, shared that EMC is a CMS 5-Star hospital for the 2nd time in 3 years, and they’re rated #1 in GA by CMS for physician communication, #2 in GA by CMS for nursing communication, and #1 in the nation by CMS for preventing hospital-acquired infections. The next location visited was East Georgia Healthcare Center (EGHC). The class learned about the many services offered and the 14 counties covered by EGHC as well as a walk-through of the EGHC mobile unit. Leadership Emanuel participants chose to wear blue in support of the County-Wide Anti Bullying Campaign that day.
