Tania is consistently recognized by providers for the exceptional, front-line care she provides to patients. One Friday afternoon, a well-known patient of the clinic called in, and it quickly became clear that the patient was in crisis. Tania remained on the phone with the patient while simultaneously notifying the care team and local authorities. Despite the clinic having closed hours earlier, they stayed committed to supporting the patient through the situation. This level of dedication, compassion, and professionalism in a time of crisis reflects the very best of nursing. She is a true example of what it means to care for patients beyond the clinical setting.
