(Yield: 16 monsters rice treats) INGREDIENTS 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 12 cups mini marshmallows (2 bags) 1/2 teaspoon salt 12 cups rice cereal 1 teaspoon vanilla 32 chocolate or peanut butter candy pieces 16 plastic vampire teeth INSTRUCTIONS 1. Melt the butter and marshmallows in a large pot over medium low heat until all marshmallows are melted.

2. Remove from heat and stir in salt, vanilla and cereal until fully coated with marshmallow mixture.

3. Pour mixture into a large greased bowl or baking sheet.

4. Use a little butter to grease hands and form balls (about 65 grams each) by pressing firmly and rolling between palms.

5. Place tightly pressed balls on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before proceeding.

6. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut a wedge in the chilled balls large enough for the teeth to fit inside. Tip: For best results, fold a set of teeth together and use widest part as a guide for your cut. The wedge should go to the center of the cereal ball. Save cut wedges for a later step.

7. Place the teeth inside the opening of the cereal ball and press the ball down around the teeth slightly, if necessary, to secure.

8. Cut the ends from both sides of the wedge about 1/2 inch long 9. Insert the cut pieces into the opening on each side of the monster's mouth to close up the sides.

10. Use the end of a chopstick or similar utensil to make holes for the eyes.

11. Add candy pieces to the holes sticking straight up.

12. Press down slightly on candy eyes to secure and store completed treats in an airtight container until ready to serve.

13. Print "Beware of Monsters" sign onto card stock, attach to a wooden dowel or paint stick and display near treats when serving.

As previously noted, the latest Performance Pay Tracking Period began on July 1st. We are striving to meet the Patient Satisfaction goal of a ≥ 65% rating (experience as “Excellent”).

In order to create a comfortable margin of performance, while continuing to improve the patient experience, we would like to share some feedback from recent patient focus groups.

The two areas that patients value the most are: 1. Communication from the treating crew: “Explain treatment options and procedures” “Provide reassurance and compassionate communication with the patient” 2. Setting clear expectations: “Set transport length expectation” “Set a triage level expectation before arriving at the hospital”

10th Annual

PUPPIES for

PATIENTS

This holiday season, give the gift that costs nothing but is priceless to a local patient:

{ life-saving blood } From November 1 through December 31, all CBCC donors have the opportunity to save three lives through blood donation and brighten a child’s hospital stay in a special way. Each donor will be invited to sign a gift tag that will be attached to a stuffed puppy.

Puppies are then delivered to area hospitals and given to local pediatric patients with the hope of bringing joy to a much-deserving child. { sam | 2013 puppy recipient }

The need for blood is ongoing, and it is especially challenging to meet this need during the holiday season. Please donate blood and give the best holiday gift of all, life.

Every Drop Stay Here. Saving Local Lives.
