Comments from La Crosse Area
Hi Diane, The GI in-service that you invited us all to at the end of March on “Malignant Colorectal Obstruction” by Boston Scientific during GI Nurses and Associate week was great. I had a good time, a very nice meal and information/prizes. I think all staff that came had a good time and I just wanted to say thank you again for inviting the VMH gang. You do a wonderful job, keep up the good work! Romelle Romelle Heisel RN Infection Prevention Coordinator/GI Vernon Memorial Healthcare 507 South Main Viroqua, WI 54665 608-637-4481
