Ali saved a life yesterday. Ali arrived at her scheduled time to visit a very ill patient in their home. She knocked on the door several times, and no one answered. She could hear the patient's cell phone ringing and his dogs were barking. Ali knew something was not right. She called the police department to come do a well check. The town Ali was visiting did not have their own police department, and the county police officers who needed to respond were miles away. The officers talked Ali through entering the home since the door was unlocked and she is well known by her patient. Ali found her patient gasping for air in his bedroom, on 10 liters of oxygen, and in respiratory distress. 911 was called, and the patient was transported to the ED. This patient's life was saved because of Ali's strong will and gut feeling that something was not right. Thank you, Ali, for going above and beyond caring for our home health care patients.
