Research is vital to health care. It's how vaccines are created and diseases are cured.

Every year at Stamford Hospital staff come together to present their work.

"All of these disciplines work together in the hospital, but they may not know what type of research each one is doing," said Suzanne Rose, executive director of Research at Stamford Hospital.

There were 86 projects this year, all of which have been implemented at the hospital.

Project are broken up into four categories: case reports, research from nursing staff, research from physician assistant students and research from residents.

"I'm so proud of my department. This is my first time going to research day and doing a presentation," said Ge Jiang, medical assistant at Stamford Hospital.

Rose said the ultimate goal of research day is to publish their work, and share it with other hospitals and health care systems.
