Awarded quarterly, the Healing Hands Award was established in 2010. Its goal is to recognize St. Francis physicians for excellence in clinical skills, patient relations, research, stewardship and their reflection of the hospital’s health-care ministry, values and mission.
Hartman was nominated by Randall Todd, M.D., St. Francis’ Emergency Department Medical Director. Of particular note was Hartman’s swift response to a call for assistance for a patient who went into cardiac arrest during surgery. He stabilized the patient and arranged for a quick transfer for care at the hospital’s catheterization lab.
“This action, no doubt, saved a patient during an intense situation,” said Christopher “Topper” Doehring, M.D., who, along with Todd presented the award to Hartman. “Dr. Hartman is a well-respected physician and is known for the top-notch care he provides to all of the patients he cares for in the emergency room.”
