A Message From Our Chief Nursing Officer
Beth Polivka, MOL, BSN, RN, CENP
"It was a special recognition for our profession when the World Health Organization deemed 2020 “The Year of the Nurse.” I believe it highlighted, in a very special way, what we have always known about ourselves: That nurses are a healing force for our world, and that their skill and compassion transcends languages, cultures and borders to make a better world for all people.
Globally, nursing demonstrated anew a beautiful light on our traits of determination, resiliency, adaptability and pure grit as we cared. But, that light wasn’t just shown to the world. In our region, CoxHealth nursing staff demonstrated this to our very own community, neighbors and friends.
As I have stepped into serving CoxHealth as System Chief Nursing Officer, I am grateful for what the organization has invested in me during my first 17 years here. This has been a place where learning and development is valued, growth is celebrated and opportunities are shared. Our culture and work environment allows us to give our very best. I have always believed that the appreciation and gratefulness our community feels toward our health system is influenced by the skills, caring, and talents given to our patients and their families by everyone on our nursing staff team.
It’s my honor and privilege to lead – and serve – in our mission as nursing services. We have an exciting year ahead as we will pursue our first Magnet designation. I am confident that it will demonstrate our path of excellence in patient outcomes, clinical nursing care and a collaborative environment. Our work is important and valuable, and together we will continue to make the difference in the lives we are entrusted for care at CoxHealth."
