Mignon Steele, RN

Mignon serves as an excellent resource for our Spanish speaking families. It is so nice to be able to get her to assist with translating for so many of our day-to-day activities.

One particular Sunday, our needs increased. We had a Spanish speaking family whose infant was dying, although the family was aware of the gravity of the situation Mignon was able to talk with them and find out what their needs and wishes were throughout the afternoon she worked with them and this was not her patient assignment. She assisted the Chaplin in completing her paperwork. If Mignon had not been here, this family’s needs would not have been met; we would have had to use the translation phone to communicate.

The personal touch needed when dealing with a family’s final goodbyes was better met because of Mignon.
