March 2015 Honoree
marilyn dinesen, RN
A patient did not have anywhere to go post-op. While the patient was having surgery, his landlord had evicted him and left all his belongings on the porch.
Marilyn had made multiple phone calls to find a place for him to stay. His daughter had promised to have him spend the night with her. She lived in a one-bedroom apartment with five other people.
The nurses got the patient a cab to go to the daughter's house and gave $25.00 so the patient could buy antibiotics and pain medicine. Then in the morning the patient went to the Talbot House for medical and housing assistance.

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