Quick Trip to Laguna Beach, CA

I left on Father's Day for a quick 2 day work trip to Laguna Beach, CA.  I am part of the inpatient design team for the new cancer center that is being built here in Omaha on the campus of The Nebraska Medical Center.  I have been very fortunate to be a part of this committee.  I was part of the design team when my current unit was remodeled, and I have learned a lot during the process.  The Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center is set to open up the end of 2016 or very early 2017.

We spent just 2 days in CA with most of our time being spent at the Hill-Rom Customer Experience Center.  Hill-Rom is the leading provider for medical technologies for the health care industry.  They sell tons of medical equipment.  We spent our time looking at beds, head walls, nurse call systems, stretchers, cots, patient furniture, BOOMs for the ICU and much more.  The Customer Experience Center was a giant show room, and we were able to test out all of the products we were looking at.

It was a quick trip, but full of lots of great information to bring back to staff.  I did have time to get a quick run  in on the beach!

I called home many times while gone.  I have never been that far away from the girls.  I knew they were in good hands with their dad, and that I didn't need to worry but I did worry and I missed them like CRAZY!  They nearly tackled me when they picked me up at the airport when I got home!  It was awesome!

 The view from my bed...loved the crashing waves at night!
