Description

Holding a baby can be a life-changing experience for both the baby being held as well as the person holding that tiny infant. It is in these simple experiences where the Nemours Associates featured today find solace, healing and purpose. Featuring Nemours Associates Lynda Harriss, Dr. Meg Frizzola and Dr. Gary Josephson.  SEGMENT 1: Volunteer Lynda Harriss has been dubbed by no less than the Division Chief for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the A.I. Dupont Hospital for Children in Wilmington as the “best baby holder ever!” During her 26 years as volunteer Lynda has spent the vast majority of her time working with babies and families in the PICU. It is here where Lynda finds solace in giving back after losing two of her own children.  SEGMENT 2: Pediatric critical care physician Dr. Meg Frizzola came to Nemours 17 years ago for her medical school rotations - and she stayed for her residency, her fellowship, her career.  She is currently the Division Chief of the AI Dupont PICU, and interim chair of pediatrics as well. Dr. Frizzola considers herself a Nemours “lifer,” having come to the conclusion pretty early on as to what kind of culture would best suit her  - and Nemours checked all the boxes. SEGMENT 3: In Episode 21,  surgeon Dr. Gary Josephson, Chief Medical Officer for Nemours Children’s Speciality Care in Jacksonville revealed something unusual: that he shares his cell phone number with the associates who work for him, so they can reach out to him anytime about anything. In this episode, we learn that Dr. Josephson employs that same policy with his patients, all of whom have access to his cel phone number. It’s just one of the many ways he goes above and beyond to support a family-centered culture at Nemours.
