Tina Ehrhart, CNA, Rehabilitation Services, 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 15.
Will stated, “We were in the Cardiovascular Unit, as the Intensive Care Unit overflowed, and had all around wonderful care from the team of nurses and doctors. Tina was delightful to have around. She was kind and compassionate and checked on my dad and was great with him. She would smile and engage him, even though she had to prick his finger to get blood glucose readings. His blood sugar was an issue that day and she was very attentive and made a tough day in the hospital a little easier for us all.”
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!
