“Of all the recognitions our health system has received from this latest US News report, the one I am most proud of is the Equitable Access listing,” added UNC Health Southeastern President/CEO Chris Ellington. “This not only takes into account the high quality of care that we provide, but also recognizes that our teammates and caregivers reflect the community we serve, and we are keenly aware of the challenges our patients face related to access to healthcare. While we provide a full range of care, including some unique services not otherwise found in our region, we are also here to care for each and every one of our neighbors. The report stated that ‘…some hospitals break the mold by demonstrating excellence in quality while also caring for numerous patients from vulnerable communities’ and we feel that we have embraced and adapted to excelling in our care delivery model.” https://lnkd.in/etQAfbxQ

Health system donates equipment to RCC to enhance radiology training technology UNC Health Southeastern recently donated a GE Logiq E9 ultrasound machine to Robeson Community College's Medical Sonography program. The health system’s decision to donate the equipment is to enhance training in our area by providing technology similar to what is used in the workforce where sonography students would eventually be hired to work. “We are always looking for ways to support and assist Robeson Community College because of their investment in our community and the overall workforce of the region,” said UNC Health Southeastern President/CEO Chris Ellington. “The decision to donate an ultrasound machine valued around $40,000 was not difficult. We want the students learning ultrasound skills that will be used to treat our community to be done on the best tools possible.” The machine will allow students to practice in the lab to gain some hands-on experience and familiarity with the machine prior to scanning patients in a clinical setting. "Our collaboration with UNC Health Southeastern is greatly valued," stated RCC President Melissa Singler. "The donation of the GE LOGIQ E9 Ultrasound Machine is a significant advancement for our sonography program. It ensures our students have access to the latest industry-standard equipment, enhancing their learning experience." Pictured at the equipment presentation, from left, were RCC Vice President of Workforce Development/Continuing Education Eric Freeman, Singler, RCC Medical Sonography Program Director Lindsay Norris, RCC Ultrasound Student Program Medical Director and UNC Health Southeastern Radiologist Dr. Jeffrey Zapawa, Ellington, and Vice President/Chief Engagement Officer Patrick Ebri, who oversees the Medical Imaging for the health system.
