Shane Strum, President and CEO of Broward Health, emphasized the importance of such cooperation, stating, “Across every step of a patient’s journey, our caregivers, first responders, and fellow healthcare organizations each play an important role in strengthening communication, improving coordination, and creating a more seamless experience for patients and families. When systems work together, we are better able to connect patients to the right care, at the right time, with the right teams in place.”

Broward Health expressed gratitude to its team members who participated and showcased the organization’s commitment to excellence.
