Chrissy Shouse, RN, Centralized Staffing, received a Who’s Your Angel nomination from Will Spear and his family. The Foundation Office presented the Who’s Your Angel award on January 17.
Will stated, “Sometimes you just feel that God is at work and yesterday when I went in early to be with my dad at the Cardiovascular Unit, we had a floating nurse, Chrissy. She was amazing in the care, concern and attention she gave to my dad. She was a bright spot in a rather difficult time and made him laugh and smile, even though he was feeling miserable. I don’t believe in coincidence, so I think God put Chrissy there that day to help my dad and us. She is a wonderful nurse and was a blessing to our family while at the hospital.”
The “Who’s Your Angel” program is an opportunity for patients and their families to express their appreciation to anyone in the Health System who had a positive influence in their healthcare experience. When the donor makes a financial gift of any size in the name of the employee and writes up a story sharing the experience, the Foundation deposits the gift to the patient care area or restricted fund that most closely matches the employee(s) being honored or the reason for the patient’s time with the Health System. This donation was deposited to the Heart & Vascular Center Fund. One hundred percent of Foundation gifts are designated to caring for patients in need.
Any staff member can be nominated for a Who’s Your Angel award, and nomination forms can be found in a surplus of Health System departments from Palmyra to Hannibal, Pittsfield, to Golden and more!
