Samantha studied and learned how to communicate with this family in Spanish.
Samantha Mack had been caring for an oncology patient for months. This family was Spanish speaking only. Samantha studied and learned how to communicate with this family in Spanish. When they received the devastating news that the patient's diagnosis was terminal, Sammie knew that this family would not be able to afford a funeral for their child. She rallied together and anonymously raised enough money to cover the cost of a funeral. She provided the funds to the family. They were forever thankful. The patient passed away on a day that Samantha was not at work. Samantha came to work on a holiday to perform post-mortem care on this child and stayed and comforted the family for hours. This is just one example of how Samantha always goes above and beyond. Samantha displays compassionate care for all of her patients.
