From the Chief Nursing Executive

Memorial Hermann Nursing Strategy Dear Colleagues, Patients, Families, Friends and Community Members:

Of all the satisfactions that come with my job, the days when I get to spend time focusing on our amazing caregivers at Memorial Hermann campuses are among the most rewarding.

I think of the patient care technician I shadowed, who told me she felt like a true part of the team and shared her dream of going to nursing school. The charge nurse who stopped me in the hall to express her thanks for Memorial Hermann’s investment in staff.

I witness first-hand nurses’ sense of pride in being part of a major health care system that serves the community within and beyond hospital walls. Their excitement at limitless possibilities for career growth, advanced education and professional involvement.

I hear our teams talk about the tremendous support they get from their peers, professional colleagues and the system itself.

That sense of pride and excitement tells me that Memorial Hermann has the right people, the right processes and the right tools in place to realize our strategic nursing vision: Grow, Excel, Reimagine.

And I’m reminded of what this pride, excitement, energy and dedication can accomplish:

Magnet® recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for nine of our facilities—a leader among health care system in the U.S. Two more campuses are earning the ANCC’s Pathway to Excellence. Of note is Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital, which achieved Magnet® with Distinction with its initial accreditation—a rare achievement for first-time applicants and the only hospital in Texas to do so.
A dynamic shared-governance system at our facilities, which supports a system-level congress elevating the voice of nursing, has resulted in significant achievements including workflow and patient-care advances.
Career advancement for nurses, including LVNs who have become RNs and RNs who have earned advanced credentials and moved into exciting and challenging new specialties.
Implementation of EPIC, a comprehensive system-wide electronic medical records system that helps nurses deliver highest-quality, personalized care to every patient.

And so much more. This is just a sampling of the accolades and achievements that have made Memorial Hermann an industry-leading exemplar in the nursing profession. We are creating a system where nurses don’t just work, they thrive.

Together we grow, excel and reimagine. Together we advance exemplary nursing practice and extraordinary professionalism. Together we make a difference in the lives of our patients, their families and our community, now and for generations to come.

My sincere thanks and appreciation to a remarkable group of professionals!

Appreciatively,

Bryan Sisk Headshot
