Julie went above and beyond to take care of a homeless patient. The homeless individual had a suitcase of old dirty clothes. She took the dirty clothes home with her when her shift ended that morning and washed and cleaned them. When she returned that night she brought back the clean clothes. It brought tears to my eyes, she did an extraordinary action to promote hygiene for the patient preventing or at least minimizing infection.
