Description

Nemours associates who have been with the enterprise for decades possess what is known as "institutional knowledge," that  that unique combination of experience, values, and information about crucial trends, projects, and perspectives that define the organization's history. Let's meet three of those long-standing employees, who share the unique gifts and talents that only longevity with a single institution can bring to bear.  SEGMENT 1: Respiratory Therapist Tim Cox has been with Nemours - in one capacity or another - for just about 30 years. He is currently the Clinical Director for Anesthesiology at the A.I. Dupont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, but he began his career here over three decades ago as so many do: as the father of a patient.  SEGMENT 2: Another mainstay at the A.I. Dupont Hospital is Joan Hussey. About 12 years ago, she found herself at one of life’s crossroads. She’d been a stay-at-home parent for 20 years, and successfully raised three sons into three fine young men. So what path would Joan follow next? She thought long and hard about where she’d been - and where she wanted to be next. She has found a home at Nemours as the Administrative Assistant to the Chief of General Surgery - a position she has found fulfilling in many, many ways, not the least of which are patients and patient families she encounters, as exemplified by one little girl.  SEGMENT 3: Ali Johnston is the patient reimbursement supervisor for the Nemours Enterprise. She grew up in the greater Jacksonville, Florida area, and has been involved with Nemours since she was a patient at the Nemours Children’s Speciality Care at Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville. This is where she went almost daily as a young teen to undergo treatment for a common heart condition known as super ventricular tachycardia.   Fast forward to today, and we see Ali - now a mom of a young son - had no hesitation on where to go when he needed a minor medical procedure - straight to Wolfson and Nemours.
