Kristy was caring for a terminal patient when she discovered this patient and her husband would be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary the next day. Kristy asked the chaplain if there was anything they could do to make this day special. The chaplain and the hospital employees worked together to develop an anniversary surprise.
The couple shared how they went to Red Lobster for their anniversary every year, but it didn't look like it this year. That's when the nutrition and food services stepped up. They worked together to pull off this couple's favorite Red Lobster meal, complete with made from scratch cheddar bay biscuits. The husband enjoyed shrimp scampi and his wife had her traditional meal of fried clams. This meal was completed with a dozen roses donated by florist, Tipton and Hurst. Even though this was not how this couple wanted or anticipated spending their golden anniversary, Kristy helped make it a memorable occasion.
The husband wrote, "Thank you for the loving care you gave to my wife. Thank you for the special Red Lobster anniversary dinner and the roses for her. God Bless you all!"
