the best patient care and research outcomes are achieved through interdisciplinary teamwork.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>His clinical career spanned three teaching facilities \u2014 the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, University of Florida Health Shands Hospital and Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center \u2014 where he advanced into leadership roles and collaborated across disciplines to improve patient outcomes and drive quality initiatives, including improving time-sensitive sepsis care to save lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI firmly believe that the best patient care and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/research\/\">research outcomes<\/a> are achieved through interdisciplinary teamwork, where each professional\u2019s expertise enhances the collective effort,\u201d Peach says. \u201cMy experiences have reinforced my commitment to fostering collaborations that drive meaningful improvements in healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Advancing Education and Science<\/h2>\n<p>While his clinical work laid the foundation, Peach recognized a broader purpose: preparing future nurses and advancing the science behind critical care.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/nursing\/\">UCF\u2019s College of Nursing<\/a>, he\u2019s led a critical care course that emphasizes essential concepts through case-based learning that prepare future nurses for real-world practice. He also serves as the college\u2019s Honors Undergraduate Thesis liaison, advising nearly 25 undergraduate and graduate students in independent research in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Nationally, Peach extends his impact through leadership and service. He&#8217;s served as a reviewer for multiple critical care publications and collaborates with experts on projects like the next tier of the Society of Critical Care Medicine\u2019s Centers of Excellence program, which will recognize hospitals for excellence in ICU care.<\/p>\n<p>His award-winning research, shared globally through publications and presentations, focuses on improving outcomes for septic patients and, more recently, advancing care for ICU delirium and post-intensive care syndrome (PICS).<\/p>\n<h2>Advocating for Intensive Care Survivors<\/h2>\n<p>PICS \u2014 a syndrome involving new or worsened physical, cognitive and mental health impairments following an ICU admission \u2014 affects a significant portion of survivors. Of the more than 5.7 million Americans admitted to ICUs each year, about 70% survive, and it\u2019s estimated that more than half experience lasting impairments.<\/p>\n<p>Peach has become an advocate for critical illness survivors, dedicated to raising awareness and improving care. He currently leads a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/research-in-60-seconds-testing-vr-exposure-therapy-to-treat-pics\/\">virtual reality exposure therapy trial for the treatment of PICS in critical illness survivors<\/a> and frequently speaks on the topic at conferences, healthcare facilities and to the media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelping shed light on the hidden burden carried by ICU survivors \u2014 and the gap between survival and true recovery \u2014 motivates my work,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>As a member of the PICS Advocacy Network, he was inspired to co-found Orlando\u2019s Walk-4-PICS campaign in 2024. It\u2019s now one of the largest events in a global effort to raise awareness and connect survivors and their families with resources and research opportunities.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230; by allowing researchers to track data nationwide, [the diagnostic code] could help make the case that PICS research warrants greater investment.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier this month, Peach presented a proposal to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advocating for a PICS ICD-10 diagnostic code. If approved, the code would allow providers to formally diagnose PICS and enable researchers to track its prevalence. A decision is expected by Summer 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis code has the potential to dramatically influence health policy and research funding,\u201d Peach says. \u201cMillions of people across the U.S. suffering from PICS conditions will officially be able to receive a diagnosis. Furthermore, by allowing researchers to track data nationwide, it could help make the case that PICS research warrants greater investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Peach, it\u2019s the people behind the statistics that inspire his work. It\u2019s the personal stories of the ICU survivors he meets, the achievements of the students he mentors and the thought leaders he collaborates with to create change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look forward to [continuing] to advance critical care through collaboration and mentorship,\u201d he says, \u201cand to improving care for patients, survivors and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>If you&#8217;re a critical illness survivor living with new or worsened physical, cognitive or mental health conditions, you may qualify for one of Peach\u2019s studies. <a
