In May, we welcomed a valuable addition to our team, Xihui Song. Xihui Song is from Taiwan and became a nurse in 1997. She obtained her Bachelor of Nursing from Chung Shan Medical University and Master of Rehabilitation Counseling from National Changhua University of Education. She has 14 years of experience in Rehabilitation Nursing and Administrative Management and has provided professional development in Rehabilitation Nursing for five years in China. Currently, she serves as the Director of the Nursing Department at Kunming LIH SkyCity Rehabilitation Hospital.

Even at this early stage, Xihui Song’s team consists of 15 nurses. Her nursing staff will be participating in “The First Session of American Rehabilitation Nursing Certification Training Course” in Yunnan Province, hosted by Yunnan Association of Rehabilitation Medicine of China in June. The course will be led by Dr. K. Mauk, a world-wide leader in rehabilitation nursing. She has collaborated with Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) to incorporate CARF standards into her training to assist rehab nurses to understand their unique role in the interdisciplinary team.
