Ruthie works as an intake and prep person on the surgery floor. Although we could see a floor full of patients, Ruth exhibited a focus and supportive demeanor that made you feel as if you were the only person she had to deal with for her entire shift.

Ruth was skilled and efficient in all the prep procedures, while always by word and attitude reinforcing an atmosphere of calm and security. Ruth also demonstrated an eye for detail and a sense of a patient's unspoken concerns. The offering of and supplying some warming blankets was both welcome and comforting. If ever Parkview needed a face and individual to illustrate their sense of service and caring, Ruth would be a sterling choice.
