LEWISTON — St. Mary's Regional Medical Center has named Barbara Pierce, BSN, MN to be the new director of the Emergency Department. She comes to St. Mary's with an extensive background in emergency medicine and management.
Most recently, she was the director of emergency care services at Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno, Calif., which saw 70,000 visitors annually. One of her successes at that facility was decreasing door-to-doctor time and streamlining the process to improve patient safety, work flow and patient satisfaction.
Pierce is a member of the Emergency Nurses Association with additional certifications in basic life support, pediatric advanced life support, and advanced cardiac life support.
