National Patient Recognition Week, Feb. 1-7:
Blessing Health does not have a job position called, “cheerleader.” If Blessing did, Amy Bates, nurse practitioner, Cardiology, would get the job. The way in which she talks to about her patients, who are having heart valve problems, is down-right inspirational.
“I learn something every day from my patients. When they are willing to share their life experiences, wisdom, advice, jokes - I get the benefit of that interaction. I may be able to help them through a specific medical problem, but what they give me is so much more. My life is better because of the patients with whom I have the privilege to work.”
On behalf of all of us at Blessing Health, thank you to everyone who puts their trust in us for their healthcare. We know you have choices. Our goal is to deliver exceptional care and service to every patient, every day, with the mission of being your Provider of Choice.
