I wanted to write you an email to let you know that you had two nurses over the holiday weekend who went WAY above and beyond in their compassion and technical competency to deliver care to a patient. Laura, the following day worked really closely with me on Sunday to help prep the patient for a very unexpected SUNDAY discharge to hospice on a holiday. It was his wish to die at home. His daughter is an NP at our Ninety-Six Office. She arranged for him to get enrolled in hospice. Laura had outstanding communication and then was so excellent with the family. I was so impressed. It is so easy to become jaded in healthcare these days. But she worked hard to get all of his medications administered prior to the discharge via EMS to the house. She went above and beyond to relay her concern and compassion to the family.

The patient expired by 5:00 PM on the day of discharge but passed peacefully. He was in no pain or distress. His family surrounded him and was able to grant his dying wish of being at home. They were extremely complimentary of the care he received on 8T.
