Pillar Awards
JULY - SEPTEMBER 2008
PEOPLE PILLAR AWARD  

Dana – 2 South

Nominated by a grateful mother on behalf of her young son who was a patient for 8 days on 2-South:

“…Personal care and attention during our entire stay…went above and beyond what we could have expected…”


QUALITY PILLAR AWARD 

Rene - Imaging

Nominated by a co-worker:

“… I had a venous Doppler done by Rene… she was able to identify a problem in my leg that I have had for a long time, and has evidently been missed on several other venous investigations that I had at other facilities. She spent a long time carefully scanning and documenting the problem, and treated me like a patient, not an employee. She gave continuous explanations and spent a lot of her time trying to locate my physician before she let me leave her department. This made me feel as though she really cared about me and not just my test. I took the study to my Vascular Surgeon…who was very impressed. He went on to explain that without the info she identified the problem would have again been missed. I have known Rene for a long time and have always been aware of her knowledge and talent in her field of Ultrasonography. I will be forever grateful to her for the personal help she gave to me. We have a true gift in Rene and I am thrilled that she is here working with us.


SERVICE PILLAR AWARD 

Teresa – 2 East

Nominated by a grateful patient:

“…Having excellent gratitude…she always greets with a smile and always has a patient-first attitude and gives you the motivation to get better. She goes further than being your nurse; she treats you as a family member of her own and that’s how she makes you feel.”
