In her role as a TCT Nurse, Michelle Clark demonstrated unwavering commitment and excellence by leading a complex discharge coordination for a high-risk Veteran with multiple co-morbidities and no stable housing. Recognizing that a traditional discharge plan would result in readmission, she swiftly mobilized resources across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings with follow-up coordination. Her ability to lead across systems ensured a safe transition and avoided a preventable readmission. Michelle Clark exemplifies advocacy, integrity, and going far beyond expectations to deliver Veteran-centered care.
