It was a memory that the patient and his wife could cherish at such a sensitive time.
Allie is being recognized for the extraordinary compassion she showed to a terminally ill patient and his family. The patient felt he would be unable to celebrate Valentine's Day with his wife due to being in the hospital. With the holiday around the corner, Allie went out of her way to purchase flowers and a gift basket for the patient to gift his wife.

When she walked into the room with the gift, the patient's eyes lit u,p and he gave her a big smile. His wife was able to enjoy this gift, and they were able to celebrate together, albeit in an unconventional setting. It was a memory that the patient and his wife could cherish at such a sensitive time. This kind gesture really showed what it means to care for these patients and their family members as they go through the hardest times in their lives.”
