What's Happening , it was reported that Gattman began reporting to Marty Bridges, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Palmetto Baptist-Columbia. He will continue to do so in his new role as he helps define the future of inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services and behavioral medicine for Palmetto Health. Gattman has formed a planning committee comprised of physician leaders and behavioral health managers to oversee the integration of behavioral services. Reporting to this committee are several subcommittees, each focused on a specific clinical service or function. A subcommittee also has been formed to direct the establishment of a psychiatric residency program at Palmetto Baptist-Columbia.
Integration is an opportunity to become more organized, more efficient, and grow.
Palmetto Health Sponsors Community Event for Cancer Palmetto Health's Community Care for Cancer health initiative sponsored a community event Tuesday, April 6, at St. John Baptist Church. This event helped rally support from community leaders to assist in spreading the word about free screening services that are available through Palmetto Health. The event aimed to dispel the myths associated with cancer and make the community aware of cancer education and early detection methods that are available to prevent and reduce cancer deaths. As Materials Management began to merge its services and staffs, part of that reorganization involved staff physically moving to new office locations. We would like to be able to speed things up by reducing some of the redundancy in the ordering and delivering of supplies.
