Brooke Flesner, MRI Technologist, Blessing Hospital Radiology, received a Who’s Your Angel nomination from patient Jessica Rockhold. The Foundation Office presented the Who’s Your Angel award on April 3.
Jessica stated, “Brooke in radiology was so reassuring and helpful! When I had my MRI, I didn’t take anything for anxiety and I regretted not taking any medicine. Brooke knew I was getting really anxious about having the metal face mask over me. She came in and she helped me to stay calm. She hurried up and did the scans she needed with the face mask on in just a few minutes. She came back in and was able to remove the mask and continue the scan without it. Brooke was so calm and reassuring with me!! I don’t think I would have made it through the MRI scan without her being there. The other techs were also good, but Brooke was exceptional! Blessing Hospital needs more employees like her!”
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 Caring Club 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!
