Testimonials

"As a member of SCADVS, I feel as though I have gained a treasure trove of insight, resources, ideas, and most importantly support.  To be surrounded by individuals, who quickly become friends, from hospitals and medical centers that share your passion as well as your concerns re-ignites one’s energy and excitement to return to their “home base” and refine processes or enact their learnings.  Being part of SCADVS means being part of a community."

While I came to the hospital with 9 years of volunteer administration experience, I was totally new to the hospital and health care world.  Actively participating on committees, attending meetings & serving on the board brought me close to others with experience that they freely shared.  Now with e-mails, we can share forms & procedures at the click of a button – and this group shares openly & freely!  I can problem solve with others who understand my challenges.  I am far more successful as a DVS than I ever would have been without SCADVS.
