A Standing Ovation for Yevgeny Klebanov, MD, Hospitalist

On February 12, SJO presented its first Bravo celebratory luncheon, with invitations to 425 caregivers, physicians or volunteers receiving a Bravo recognition from May - October 2025. A surprise part of the luncheon was the presentation of 12 Standing Ovation recognitions to individuals, which represented heartfelt stories of compassion, excellence or stand-out "above and beyond" moments.

Dr. Klebanov's Standing Ovation was selected from approximately 360 Bravo recognitions (30 of those were physicians) by the SJO Spirit & Recognition Squad, a committee consisting of caregivers from various departments and disciplines and focused on St. Joe's culture. 

    The Bravo program acknowledges the contributions our physicians, caregivers and volunteers make each day in our ministry. Recognitions can be submitted by patients, families, visitors and fellow caregivers. Our next Bravo celebration is scheduled for May/June, when the next round of Standing Ovation recipients will be announced.
