July 2017 Honoree
linda klein, LPN
On two recent occasions, Linda has exhibited deep compassion and demonstrated that she is a true role model.
On the first occasion, after learning that her diabetic patient would be admitted to the hospital late in the afternoon, Linda bought the patient lunch to make sure he did not go without a meal.
On a separate occasion, after it was determined one of her patients would need to be admitted to the hospital, Linda volunteered to go to the patient's nursing facility to retrieve his clothes and cell phone, putting the patient at ease so he could call his children to tell them that he was in the hospital. Upon her return, the patient realized he did not have his wallet either. Linda then went back to the nursing home to pick up the patient's wallet.

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