S was admitted with difficulty breathing and had undergone a thoracentesis. The next day, while recovering, a simple act of caring went a long way for a 98-year-old's birthday celebration. Anita Medeiros RN, who is the lead preceptor on 4 Ell, was precepting a new graduate RN that morning, knew the patient's story and of the recent loss of his wife, and used her holistic training and intuition to brighten up his stay. Anita went down to our gift shop during her break and purchased a birthday card, balloon, and a cupcake, and returned to the unit to have all the staff sign his birthday card. With the birthday card signed and sealed, the entire staff on 4 Ell presented S with warm smiles and caring presence to surround him in his room to sing "Happy Birthday"! S is a retired Ford Motor Company employee stated the key to longevity and a good life, "is to keep your mind busy and to work hard". The holistic nurse in an instrument of healing and a facilitator in the healing process. Anita incorporated Ascension Health's mission, vision, and values wonderfully.
