As a coworker and colleague I would like to acknowledge the dedication of Jean Groleau toward wound and ostomy care. She has been a tremendous resource to MaineGeneral and to the wound care department since I started in our specialty in 1996. She is a wealth of knowledge, a great patient advocate, and a great resource for the prevalence study. I didn't want this opportunity to pass-to recognize her tremendous efforts in regard to wound, ostomy, and pressure ulcer prevention.

...

Jean has been a leader on pressure ulcer prevention for over 15 years. Dedicated to quality patient care. Encourages and advises other RNs and CNAs on care of skin concerns. Teaches family and patients on prevention of pressure ulcers. Dedicated to conducting pressure ulcer prevelance studies every quarter since it started at MaineGeneral Health.

...

Jean is compassionate and caring and seems to go above and beyond the call of duty for her patients and fellow employees.
