RCPs Celebrate RC Week with Knowledge, Accomplishments....and Lots of Food!
The RCPs at Edward Hospital of Naperville, IL, celebrated RC week by displaying their skill, knowledge and teamwork. In addition to providing free hospital-wide spirometry screening during the week, the RCPs took special quizzes each day, and solved custom-made puzzles (crosswords, jumbles, and word searches) that challenged their knowledge of the profession and of each other! Special leadership, teaching, and clinical excellence awards were given on formal dinner night, and the week wrapped up with a special Jeopardy game on Friday. All these activities were augmented by special vendor-provided menus every day and evening. All the RCPs agreed - this was the best week ever! -
