Donald A. Hislop is an experienced New Mexico administrative director who holds responsibilities as Associate Chief Nursing Officer with Memorial Medical Center. Donald A. Hislop's Las Cruces facility maintains a strong community focus and has been active in the COVID-19 pandemic response,

Until recently, Memorial provided drive-thru COVID-19 testing under New Mexico Department of Health supervision. Over a 143-day period from March 22nd to August 14th, more than 20,000 tests were administered to residents of the region.

At the same time, a dedicated emergency operations plan was set in place designed to ensure the safety of providers, patients, employees, and members of the community at large. This involved making the hospital safer than it already was, with strict guidelines introduced to decrease the spread of germs. These included everyone wearing a mask, setting up physical barriers, and screening all who entered the premises for COVID-19 symptoms.

In addition, patients treated for the coronavirus were isolated in a dedicated wing of the facility, with disinfection and cleaning protocol significantly expanded to exceed current standards. The end result has been a model community-centered response to a serious health challenge, and one that has benefited the lives of thousands of local residents.

In addition to assisting with recruitment, Donald A. Hislop supports the Memorial Medical Center in all aspects of patient care.

Through a new partnership with the Human Milk Repository of New Mexico (HMRNM), Memorial Medical Center recently became the first Milk Bank Donation Station in the state. While breast milk is the optimal food for newborns, not all mothers can produce their own. The HMRNM is currently working to set up milk donation centers throughout the state to help keep milk donation local. Through the partnership, HMRNM provided Memorial with a freezer, thermometers, lock, and other materials necessary for the storage of donated breast milk.

The program is another commitment of Memorial to maintaining its status as a Baby-Friendly Hospital. A designation created by the \World Health Organization and UNICEF, Baby-Friendly Hospitals provide high levels of support for newborns and breastfeeding mothers.

Hislop belongs to the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL), in which he recently was awarded entrance into the Nurse Executive Fellowship.

Dedicated to shaping health care through expert nursing leadership, AONL provides nurses with professional development and other education opportunities, such as the Nurse Executive Fellowship. A nine-month program, the fellowship is designed for nurses who are new at working as C-suite employees.

Nurses accepted into the AONL Nurse Executive Fellowship are taught a variety of skills, including strategic thinking, C-suite communication, and board relations. This information helps nursing professionals develop the executive competencies they need to inspire nursing workforces and lead complex health systems.

The AONL Nurse Executive Fellowship is a highly interactive program that teaches these skills through a mix of dialogue with peers and lectures from expert faculty members. Participants also engage in situational analyses and simulations. These practices give them hands-on experience in managing some of the common challenges that face nurse executives.
