![]() That, along with the the reopening of the private floor, was welcome news for Guy Coviello, president / CEO of the Youngstown / Warren Regional Chamber. “Trumbull (the hospital) is so privileged to be able to take care of the citizens of the greater Trumbull County area, but in particular, Trumbull is here to stay in Warren,” Russo said. Russo also reaffirmed the commitment of Trumbull Regional Medical Center and Steward to Warren. The decrease in infections, the patient experience, and those are all the highest priorities for us as an organization, as well as the staff retention, so that move to private rooms was a no-brainer for us once we established the staffing,” Heater said. “Ratios are better controlled because we have a less number of patients to care for. Heater said a smaller patient-to-provider ratio allows for more attention, plus makes it easier for staff to care for patients, a benefit that goes a ways toward employee retention. “What we wanted to do is, let’s open the 10 beds, see how it goes - and it’s been phenomenal, and let’s go back to the plan,” Russo said about the future timing of when more rooms could come online. Ten rooms have reopened and when staffing allows for it, additional rooms will come online, Russo said. Then, with a snip of an oversized pair of scissors, the floor formally was reopened. “We are so fortunate now that we are staffed and in a position to be able to offer to patients to come to this floor, and have our nurses have assignments that are reasonable for them and for the patient so they can give the patient focused attention,” Cindy Russo, president, Trumbull Regional Medical Center.
