Mercy Nurses Afton Brown and Andrea Staiti are Featured Guests for the July 2024 edition of "Medoscopy"

Mercy nurses Evasue "Afton" Brown, RN, CPAN, and Andrea Staiti, BSN, CV-BC, are featured guests on Mercy Medical Center's monthly talk show, "Medoscopy," airing Wednesday and Thursday, July 24 and 25 at 5:30 p.m. on Facebook Watch.

A 30-minute pre-taped program that explores the background and lives of Mercy clinicians, patients and others, Medoscopy was launched in spring 2022 and airs in two 15-minute segments. Past episodes of Medoscopy are available for viewing on Mercy's YouTube channel.

Andrea, who works in Mercy's Interventional Radiology and Cardiac Catheterization laboratory, known as "the cath lab," has been at Mercy for 19 years. Afton, who noted she just recently earned her CPAN certification (for Certified Post Anesthesia Nurse), works in the hospital's post-anesthesia care unit or PACU.

Both nurses were recently recognized as among "the best of the best" in the region by Baltimore magazine's 10th annual "Excellence in Nursing Awards" survey in the May 2024 issue.

On a more personal front, Andrea noted her children's interest in sports, including twin boys who play soccer and ice hockey, and a daughter, who also enjoys soccer, and dance. Afton shared her family's interest in travel, including to Southern Utah and Kauai among the Hawaiian Islands, hiking, and camping.

Medoscopy is filmed on the campus of Mercy Medical Center in downtown Baltimore with video, sound, and lighting by Zinnia Film. Medoscopy earned a Bronze Telly Award in 2024 in the "Online Series - Public Awareness and Interest" category.
