This project focused on matching two-delivery systems and revising the Beverly Hospital Virtual Orientation, by mirroring the Beverly Hospital in-person orientation. Dedicated leaders at Beverly Hospital know the importance of excellence and innovation. When work was moved to online virtual learning, orientation became essential for continuing to achieve hospital goals. The updated Beverly Hospital Orientation will allow for future new employees to be presented with equivalent information on documents, policies, and procedures. By creating orientation folders and organizing the informational packets supported at in-person orientation, it has assisted in identifying topics, documents, policies, and procedures that required updates and revisions.

This poster presents the integration of the Center for Accessible Academic Resources (CAAR) into campus services following the merger of the previous Disability Services. The project focused on maintaining and enhancing academic accommodations, disability access, peer tutoring, and supplemental instruction. The project aimed to raise awareness about CAAR and its services among students through surveys and gather feedback on accessibility barriers and student perceptions. Data collected from these surveys were analyzed to understand student needs and inform future improvements and planning for CAAR services. This initiative highlights the commitment to creating a more inclusive and supportive academic environment.

Anna Jaques Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation program provides an amazing opportunity for patients with cardiac problems to help reach their exercise goal and get back to a normal lifestyle. Many of these patients struggle with gaining back their strength and confidence post recovery of their cardiac episode. Rehabilitation helps them achieve these goals. By the end of the 12-24 sessions patients during this study were feeling noticeably stronger and more confident. Patients know when their exercise goal is reached and they feel less exerted with exercise.

This project aims to raise awareness about tick-borne diseases, focusing on the rising cases of Lyme disease and other tick-related illnesses affecting both pets and their owners. Tick-borne diseases/illnesses are spread through the bite of an infected tick, causing illnesses. Because of this, ticks present a shared risk, as they can easily infect both animals and humans, leading to health complications in stages that can be lethal. The increasing prevalence of Lyme disease highlights an urgent need for effective prevention strategies. We promote preventative measures, including Lyme vaccinations, oral tick preventatives, DEET repellent, and detection methods for both pets and people. Additionally, we advocate for improved yard and garden management to minimize tick habitats around your home. A flyer was developed to spread essential information and data collected via a google form to assess public awareness and practices. By boosting understanding and implementation of preventative measures, this project aims to reduce the counts of tick-borne diseases in our communities.
