The service Dayton ICU Consulting provided was exceptional and above expectations. As an ICU medical director, I have had to unlearn what has been taught to us over the years and what we thought was right. When I started listening to the Walking Home From The ICU podcast, I felt profound sadness and guilt for what we did to other human beings thinking what we were doing was right.

I have changed my practice and we had Dayton ICU Consulting at our hospital in each of our intensive care units for multiple sessions. It was eye-opening for the staff, especially the bedside RNs. We have developed significant momentum, especially in our surgical and trauma ICUs where staff that were non-believers are now champions of this movement. We have done videos of patients’ experiences and plan to use them to educate new hires. I am very excited about where we have come from and expect great things.

I cannot thank Kali Dayton and our staff enough for helping us improve ICU care and experiences for our patients.

The Walking Home From The ICU podcast has been transformational in helping to change the culture in the small community ICU where I work. I am an occupational therapist and have wanted to implement early mobility in our facility for several years now. It wasn’t until I started listening to this podcast that this “want” became more than that. It became a “must.”

The podcast has made it so easy to share the passion I have gained. The stories of the patients and the knowledge of practitioners sharing their clinical practice advice are so valuable.

Kali Dayton has shared with our team her knowledge through a video format as well. She was able to answer nursing related questions that I, as an OT, haven’t been able to answer. She is professional and willing to share her knowledge and passion in order to make changes in the ICU community around the world.
