Chris shows exceptional kindness, compassion, and selflessness. Recently, Chris received a phone call from another staff member asking if he had any ideas about this patient being discharged without shoes. Recognizing that the patient lacked the means to acquire new shoes and aware of the importance of proper footwear for the patient's comfort and dignity, Chris made an extraordinary act of compassion by donating his shoes to the patient. This gesture was not just about providing shoes—it was about restoring dignity, showing empathy, and reminding the patient that they were cared for in every sense of the word. This small act of kindness had a tremendous impact on the patient, who was visibly moved and grateful. It also inspired everyone in the unit, demonstrating what true patient-centered care looks like. Chris consistently exemplifies the values of nursing—going far beyond the expected duties of his role. His willingness to give not only his time and skills but also a piece of himself is what makes him a truly exceptional nurse. Thank you, Chris, for your dedication, compassion, and the example you set for all of us.
