Wayne County Celebrates the DeMay Living Center Team Members

The DeMay Living Center team in Wayne County was just recognized in the Wayne Post for their years of service.  The DeMay Living Center is a skilled nursing center in Newark, NY that offers around-the-clock nursing care for long term patients, transitional patients, rehabilitation, ventilator dependent patients, and Alzheimer's patients.  The article highlighted the impressive time commitment of the staff, citing that the 96 individuals recognized had spent a collective 1,300 years  caring for patients and residents at Newark-Wayne Community Hospital and DeMay Living Center.  I find this to be incredibly impressive and indicative of the strength of the team caring for patients at this center. 

While the DeMay Living Center healthcare team is primarily comprised of nurses, I find many parallels between this system and the healthcare teams that are on the rise, which combine various types of medical professionals.  This center integrates various types of service under one roof, which I envision as the future of all healthcare.  With physicians, nurses, NPs, PAs, and other health professionals working together in a team aiming to better the patients' lives, I can only imaging a multitude of care types will be combined in single facilities, something that is already happening.
