Her integrity shows every time she steps up to take on another task, fill a gap, or identify a way to make care safer for infusion patients.
I cannot think of a Samaritan leader who exemplifies PRIDE better than Trisha. Every day, she goes above and beyond, putting the needs of our patients, her staff, and Samaritan before her own. Her integrity shows every time she steps up to take on another task, fill a gap, or identify a way to make care safer for infusion patients.
While I could nominate Trisha for an entire list of things, I wanted to call out the phenomenal work she did to make the GSR Ambulatory Infusion conversion to a department of AGH successful. Every nursing workflow was considered; she kept open lines of communication with pharmacy and intake; and when the switch was flipped, she was on the ground coordinating the correct treatment location for patients, covering lunch breaks, and keeping pharmacy in the loop as we managed the medication supply. I personally could not have survived the process without Trisha’s help! And through all the challenges thrown at her, she maintains a professionalism and grace that represents what we all strive for here at SHS.
