Asha’s gentle care met the patient’s physical needs and provided emotional support, creating a comforting and reassuring environment.
Asha is a nurse at The Baby Place at AdventHealth Hendersonville, and recently spent time providing support to the nurses and patients on the medical surgical floor. She was providing care to an elderly patient who was recovering from surgery for a hip fracture and unable to attend to their own needs. Asha graciously cared for the patient with a gentle and attentive approach. 

Asha’s loving, compassionate care was appreciated by the medical surgical nursing team and caught the attention of the Director of Medical Surgical Nursing, who says, “Asha went above and beyond the call of duty, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to meeting the unique requirements of a patient who was unable to advocate for themself.”

Asha’s gentle care met the patient’s physical needs and provided emotional support, creating a comforting and reassuring environment. The patient who started out confused, and in pain, was soon holding conversations and even smiling. 

The director and her team are grateful for the support and care Asha demonstrated for her patient. “This exemplary display of care serves as a testament to Asha’s extraordinary commitment to providing holistic, patient-centered care, leaving a lasting impact on our healthcare team because Asha made this patient matter. Thank you, Asha!”
