Mary "Kathy" Whitaker has been a nurse for many years and goes above and beyond what is required of her. Kathy has also been working at BSA Urgent Care on weekends for the last 3-4 years to help with the patient load and is known and admired for her compassion. Kathy is the epitome of a provider of quality healthcare in Christian love, service and dignity. Once, a patient insisted on driving themself home after a procedure, despite looking unwell. Kathy followed the patient home after noticing that something wasn’t right while they were driving. Kathy’s teammate called 911. When EMS arrived on the scene, the patient was reluctant to go to the ER, but Kathy convinced them with care. She consistently performs high-quality work, performs extra duties beyond those normally assigned, demonstrates a willingness to work with others and assists wherever needed or requested. Kathy has a positive attitude and exceptional dependability. We are lucky to have her!
