Onvida Health

From Yuma to Nationwide 🌟

Three years ago, Lisa Green White, MSN, RNC-OB, Nurse Educator for Labor & Delivery and Mother Baby Unit, began using escape rooms to train nursing staff as a creative way to sharpening clinical skills and critical thinking. Since then, she has developed a new one each year.

This year’s focus was Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE), one of the most critical obstetric emergencies. After being submitted to the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN), Lisa’s escape room was selected for nationwide sharing.

Nurses across the country will now learn from something that started right here at Onvida Health.

Lisa, we are so proud of you. Thank you for being the spark behind something truly special.

We had a great time this past Saturday joining the community at Water Safety Day, hosted by the Greater Yuma Water Safety Alliance (GYWSA) at Valley Aquatic Center.

Onvida Health was on-site connecting with families and sharing resources focused on staying safe and healthy this summer, including information on primary care services, sun safety tips, CPR class information and free sunscreen.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and spent part of their morning with us. We’re proud to support events that help keep our community informed, prepared and safe around water and beyond.

Here’s to care you can trust for a lifetime.

Onvida Health has been awarded a $500,000 grant from the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services (ADVS) to expand behavioral health services for veterans in Southern and Western Arizona.

This funding will enhance both our Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), with a focus on supporting veterans experiencing conditions such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and other service-related mental health challenges, especially among veterans and Native American veteran populations.

In addition to expanding patient care services, the grant will also support team member training and development. Behavioral health staff, including counselors, nurses and support teams, will receive:

• Trauma-informed care training
• Military cultural competency education
• Specialized training in Native American traditions and historical trauma

These new investments build on the strong foundation already in place to support veterans in the region. The new VA Outpatient Clinic and the involvement of Onvida Health medical residents, who will regularly round at the clinic, will further strengthen coordination of care for local veterans.

Together, we continue our commitment to building a healthier, more supportive future for our veteran community.

The Foundation of Onvida Health has proudly awarded $57,500 in scholarships to support the next generation of healthcare professionals.

This year, 28 remarkable individuals are taking the next step in their journey. From recent high school graduates to working healthcare professionals advancing their careers. Among them are 14 Onvida Health employees who continue to grow, learn and lead by example.

This investment reflects something we truly believe in: when we support our people, we strengthen the future of care in our community.
