Employee Spotlight – Delmi Arias

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Joann Ariola

July’s Employee Spotlight shines on Delmi Arias, RN, and Clinical Analysis for the Performance Improvement Department at Flushing Hospital Medical Center (FHMC).

Delmi Arias is a valued employee who works collaboratively with the MediSys Sepsis and Stroke Coordinators as well as conducting chart audits for regulatory compliance and reports findings to the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH).

In addition to her degree as a Registered Nurse, Delmi is studying for a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. She is slated to graduate by the end of 2019.

Delmi credits much of her drive and success to her loving family. “I like to lead by example and I am blessed with doing what I love and having the support of my ‘Better Half’ Junior and children, Daniel, Anisa and Rosie.”

When not at work, Delmi loves binge watching countless episodes of her favorite show, “The Office,” being adventurous by exploring the city with her children and listening to Pastor T.D. Jakes sermons for inspiration.

“Serving this community and enhancing our patient’s stay and quality of life is a couple of the things I love best about my work. But, there are challenges too. I am tasked with learning all the latest guidelines from the NYS DOH for management of the Stroke and Sepsis programs. The guidelines are always changing. As soon as I think ‘I GOT IT!’ the guidelines change. It keeps me at the top of my game. “

Flushing Hospital Medical Center congratulates Delmi Arias for receiving July’s Employee Spotlight!
