Dr. Darga is board-certified in psychiatry. She cares for patients with conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD and addiction.

He sees adult patients for mental and behavioral health concerns and treatments, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as many others. “In my field, it’s vital to listen.

But every day she remains on the job, it's certain she will have a positive impact on patients. "I enjoy my job and each and every person I have worked for during my 45 years," said Susie.

A group of leaders from Marshfield Clinic Health System recently completed the “We’re All in This Together”: Tools to Support Strategic Imperatives program.   Culture is a set of active and engaged relationships working towards a shared goal. It is influenced by all stakeholders in an organization. The “We’re All in This Together”: Tools to Support Strategic Imperatives program utilized a framework that supported teaching strategies to engage, enable and energize team members through the three skills of building safety, sharing vulnerability and establishing purpose. Participants learned strategies and tools to support improving the outcomes of patients, team members and leaders, in a current climate of ongoing organizational change.   Participants pictured below are: Corey Turnquist, Keith Hermann, Jess Gaffney, Meghan Rossato, Jackie Soward, Cheryl Kneifl, Laura Boudreau, Nikki Lightfoot, Kathy Boushon, Deann Dickinson, Nicole Dilger, Aric Zabel, Keri Manecke, Bob Chaloner (Leader Sponsor – President of Marshfield and Neillsville centers), Rachelle Tuyls, Becca Normington, and Tamara Cox.

Congrats to the team who were the first in the world to use a new approach for ovarian cancer surgery since it was FDA-approved. The team used a novel imaging agent, CYTALUX, in combination with the Stryker 1788 imaging platform for ovarian cancer surgery after it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. The new technology, CYTALUX, aids in ovarian cancer cytoreduction, or surgery to remove the tumor and any nearby tissues the cancer spread to. Excited to bring this groundbreaking treatment to those that live in rural communities! Learn more https://lnkd.in/gGZVP-wf
