Linda was willing to take a homeless patient with brittle diabetes into her home for four days before he could be evaluated for a drug treatment program. Her willingness to do so completely exemplified Providence's mission and core values. All throughout this patient's hospitalization. . . Linda was a staunch advocate for promoting improved glycemic control and the prevention of hypoglycemia. . . Her professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond to help this patient were exemplary and deserve recognition.
