Rachel always goes above and beyond in the supervisory role as House Supervisor. On this particular day, a patient about 70+ years old left the hospital AMA. After being notified Rachel called the local cab company, police departments, and gas station attempting to find the patient. He was walking in below-freezing temperatures. She eventually discovered he hitched a ride to Farmington where he lived. Then called the Farmington Police Department to do a wellness check just to ensure he was safely at home.

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