It's known here as TMOM, an acronym for Team Member of the Month. It’s one of the biggest highlights and “feel good” moments in our hospital each month as we recognize and celebrate a team member for their excellence. The award presentation is usually a surprise to the recipient and done by hospital leadership in front of the team member’s department or unit under the ruse of a training, meeting or another gathering.

Today's, TMOM highlight is Carissa, a CT technologist! A CT technologist uses specialized imaging equipment to produce detailed body images, assisting medical staff in diagnosing and treating conditions.

Carissa works very hard to make sure patients are comfortable. Her personality is warm and heavy with enthusiasm. Her TMOM nomination notes her work while she was a key member of our imaging department’s overnight shift. Carissa was a calming and steady influence no matter how busy the overnight got or the unexpected circumstances and situations they faced.

Carissa is great with teammates, always assisting and helping. She selflessly fills in and picks up shifts for coworkers when there is a need.

From Carissa’s TMOM nomination documents: “Carissa’s dedication, skill and kindness truly embody what great patient care is all about. Her teammates admire how she always steps in to help others, keeps the department running smoothly and maintains such a positive attitude, no matter how busy…Her dedication to both patient care and teamwork set a shining example for us all.”

Congratulations and thank you Carissa for your ability and top-notch work in our imaging department!

We hosted a two-day Career Camp this summer for students entering the ninth or 10th grades in the 2026-2027 school year. The camp gave students opportunities to learn hands-on about different hospital careers. St. Joseph's Hospital-North campers toured hospital departments, received presentations from hospital staff and participated in interactive classes.

Department tours and presentation highlights included: surgery, nursing simulation, pet therapy, rehabilitation, radiology, maternity, respiratory therapy, laboratory/phlebotomy, pharmacy, physician careers, facilities and nutrition/dietitian.

The St. Joseph's Hospital-North camp is part of a series of career camps across the BayCare Health System this summer in an effort to inspire the next generation of health care workers.

Abhay, who will be a ninth grader this August at Strawberry Crest High near Plant City, said he wanted to attend the Career Camp to learn more about hospitals.

"I only thought hospitals was doctors and nurses," Abhay said. "I wanted to see what's beyond that and the different things I would be able to do in a hospital."

Abhay aspires to be a surgeon and liked the camp presentation in an operating room about robotic surgery. "I didn't know that robotic surgery is sort of like a VR (virtual reality) set and that you would actually be doing the surgery and controlling the robot," he said.

See more about the robotic surgery activity in the photo gallery.

This was the first year that the camps came to our hospital and our sister hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital-South in Riverview.

Melissa, clinical professional practice manager, one of the camp organizers and coordinators, said the expansion to St. Joseph's Hospital-North and St. Joseph's Hospital-South was because of substantial community demand.

"We've been trying to expand our outreach and bring more young people into our facilities and expose them to health care careers," Melissa said. "We wanted to give more students in the geographical regions and communities across our system the opportunity to participate."
