Joy's expertise was evident as she skillfully coordinated with the family and the brother, ensuring everyone remained focused on the potential to save lives.
I entered a challenging environment where a family had initially declined organ donation. Despite their prior decision, I engaged in a meaningful discussion with the patient. Subsequently, I approached the family and, through adept communication, obtained their verbal consent. An hour later, a sibling arrived, intent on reversing the initial decision.

This is where Joy's extraordinary skills came into play. Not only did she navigate the challenges posed by the dissenting brother, but she also played a crucial role in maintaining the commitment of the spouse and girlfriend. Joy's expertise was evident as she skillfully coordinated with the family and the brother, ensuring everyone remained focused on the potential to save lives.

Working alongside Joy was an incredible experience. Her extensive knowledge and unwavering dedication to the cause facilitated the coordination of the family and effectively guided them toward recognizing the life-saving impact of organ donation. Thanks to Joy's exceptional efforts, we removed names from the donor waitlist, making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. This nomination is a heartfelt acknowledgment of Joy's invaluable contribution to our organ donation efforts.
