February 2021 Honoree
auyana smith, BSN, RN
I am a kidney transplant patient for readmission and I was telling my RN that I was having trouble paying for my medications.
Auyana contacted the social worker and the case manager and they helped me get on a program to get the medications ($2,000 dollars per month) and get a voucher to get them for $25.00.
That may not mean a lot to you hospital administrators and nurses, doctors, aids but I only make $1200 dollars a month and the meds are more than what I make.
I was crying and upset and they ended helping me so much with fundraising and future options for generic medication and to change out to an equal but cheaper medication. I want to thank them for going above and beyond to get me help when I needed it most.

Thank you, Auyana, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
