ARMC Nurse Receives Regional Award

Janet Stoia Davis, a registered nurse in Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s Ostomy Clinic, recently received the Gene Galindo Memorial Fund Award from the Pacific Coast Region (PCR) of the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurses (WOCN) Society. Established in 2006, the award provides financial support to qualified individuals to help educate and assist patients who have had an ostomy (a surgical opening in the skin that allows for waste products to leave the body). Davis, who has been contracted with the hospital since 1996, provides wound care and ostomy services in the Ostomy Clinic. Davis received the award for her proposal to help ostomy patients in the community who may not have access to an ostomy nurse. “I am honored to receive this award,” said Davis, who sees ostomy patients after surgery and assists them with the education and tools they need to resume their normal activities. “Thanks to this award, I (was) able to provide a free Ostomy Education Day event on Jan. 15, in San Bernardino, to give individuals information about ostomies.” Besides her clinical work, Davis also contributes to journals in the medical field with articles focusing on quality of life issues for ostomy patients. Her recently published articles, co-authored with other medical professionals, include: “Factors Impacting the Quality of Life of People with an Ostomy in North America,” in Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society, and “Factors Impairing Quality of Life for People with an Ostomy,” in Gastrointestinal Nursing. “With more than 30 years of nursing experience and a critical care background, Davis is an asset to ostomy patients at ARMC and in the community,” said ARMC Chief Nursing Officer Michelle Sayre. “Her award is an indication of her commitment to providing quality care for ostomy patients.” The PCR WOCN mission is to promote the highest quality wound, ostomy and continence care for patients in California and Nevada. The Gene Galindo Memorial Fund is provided by PCR to support ostomy education and activities that improve the quality of life for individuals who have undergone an ostomy.
