- St. Maryโs Hospital: Nurses at Carondelet St. Maryโs Hospital celebrated national Nursesโ Week with the dedication of Darlaโs Duds, a collection of donated clothing for patients in need. The clothing closet is named in memory of Registered Nurse Darla Ordway, who died earlier this year. Staff at St. Maryโs Hospital discussed creating a clothes closet for patients last December and Ordway championed the idea. Ordway was manager of the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit at St. Maryโs Hospital and a past president of the Arizona Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses.
