On June 23, AmSurg hosted a reveal party for Make-A-Wish recipient Fiona.
Here are five highlights:
1. AmSurg employees made contributions from April to June to send Fiona on a journey to Disneyland with her family.
2. At the reveal party, more than 100 AmSurg employees celebrated with Fiona and her family at the Nashville corporate office where the teen discussed her experience with osteogenesis imperfecta as well as her future aspirations.
3. This summer, the teenager will research Zika virus at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.
4. During the festivities, Ambulatory Services President Phillip Clendenin discussed the company's dedication to supporting Make-A-Wish.
5. Because Fiona is passionate about science, AmSurg employees took her on a tour of a mock ambulatory surgery center at the Nashville office. John Trocino, senior director of facilities management, spoke about the various procedures ASCs offer and demonstrated the equipment medical staff use in colonoscopies and cataract procedures.
