Richmond’s nursing leaders championed workplace safety through impactful initiatives. In July and December, Tia Newell, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Interim Assistant Chief Nursing Executive, collaborated with the hospital’s security team to provide nurses with talks on safety and situational awareness, equipping staff with tools to feel confident and prepared in their environment.
Additionally, Judelyn P. Cadavona-Bala, MSN, RN, 3 South Department Manager, worked with the Safety Team to implement the Green Blanket Protocol for inpatient units—a visual cue signaling patients with a history of violence during their visit. These efforts reflect Kaiser Permanente Richmond’s commitment to fostering a safe and supportive environment for all.
