December Praises…and Holiday Wishes
‘Twas the day before Christmas and . . . I was catching up on details.
No unusual calls, but some very nice correspondence received via e-mail, letter and voicemail messages. For instance, Angela K. wrote of past reluctance to seek therapy [due to hearing horror stories about such experiences] and her dread in attending therapy sessions. To her delight, she found that the stories were all wrong and that the therapists helped make her feel very comfortable and didn’t make her do anything she was unable or uncomfortable doing. Another caller described our ACH Therapy Colleagues as “friendly, courteous, and very team oriented” ... saying that they were all especially attentive to her specific needs. She said she has been other places and was particularly impressed with the attention paid to small, yet important details, (such as cleaning the exercise equipment) here at ACH.
Thank you, Maintenance, for another job well done. Security recently returned a wallet that was found by one of our Maintenance Colleagues. The wife of one of our patients thought she had dropped the wallet somewhere between her home and the hospital as she was rushing her husband to our ER. When he was admitted to his room, a member of the Security department was already there with the missing wallet and all of its contents were in tact, including several hundred dollars in cash. The patient and his wife wanted to let us know how much they appreciated our Colleagues; not only for their kindness, but for the care they give to all patients.
To all our great Colleagues, physicians, volunteers, Board leadership… here’s wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It is indeed a pleasure and an honor to be part of the ACH family.
