Success Stories

Going the extra mile

"We had a patient who had become very sick. So sick that she was unable to go out and get the medication she needed for her illness. One of the nurses at our health center decided there was only one thing to do. After her shift had ended, she got in her car and drove over 30 miles out of her way and delivered the prescription to the patient. It’s not just about taking care of a person, it’s about really caring for them too."
