SPECIAL EXPERIENCE OR FAVORITE MOMENT AT WAYNE HEALTHCARE: There are just lots of good times and nice people to work with. Some of my best experiences have been taking care of patients and their families so that they get all the help they need during their stay.

REASON SELECTED FOR EOM: Last week on Senior Behavorial Health Department, we had multiple pulmonary patients and one very sick patient in particular that ended up in ICU. Connie came to our unit to help deal with these patients and spent a large amount of time caring for them. She made multiple trips in and out of our unit to complete other needed tasks throughout the hospital. You could tell she was being pulled in multiple directions and was dealing with very frustrating/stressful situations in our unit and the rest of the hospital. This entire time she maintained a Positive Attitude with great Teamwork and showed the utmost Compassion for our patients. Connie showed the best in a healthcare professional in my opinion that day!
