Background

About Carlyn Belone

Given the opportunity as the Safety Officer at WIHCC (Winslow, Dilkon and Leupp) in November 2022, I have obtained certifications from Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), I am committed to the health and safety of our patients, visitors and staff and my goal is to address and minimize risks, hazard mitigation, improve safety performance, encourage employee engagement and prevent injuries. A “culture of safety” is embedded within the organization and focused on our patients and environments. Environment of Care and Life Safety is tied back with patient safety, and we must focus in managing our facilities on a day-to-day basis and effectively provide the best quality patient care. One of the best attributes of the healthcare industry is our sense of community. Despite challenges, the healthcare community has a spirit, we are resilient, inspired and connected through healing. Previous mentors have greatly influenced my professional growth over the years, and most recently have enjoyed the opportunity in serving as the Safety Officer and grateful for the remarkable selfless work that our employees are committed to do. In staying current with technical knowledge and expertise, is an important factor and being able to stay connected with other professions in my job so I may get more insights on current trends and events, technology, best practices, etc.
