Chelsea is known for her attentiveness to her patients and dedication and the compassion she shows towards the patient's needs and always keeps them on the fore-front of every decision and action that she displays. This recent incident is just an example of her kind heart and reflection of Good Samaritan Hospital.
Chelsea went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the patient she discharged was able to get his meds.
The patient was discharged to home and Chelsea worked on his discharge for 2 hours. The patient was going to a nursing home to visit his wife for a few hours before going home. Chelsea arranged for his transportation home without realizing that he had no access to his medications because the pharmacy doesn't deliver meds and the ambulance service would not stop at the pharmacy long enough to get his meds there. Social Services said that the patient had a co-pay of $6.00 so they couldn't send anyone to pick the meds up and Home Health couldn't see him until Sunday.
Chelsea drove to the pharmacy and paid for the medications, out of her pocket, and then drove to the nursing home to personally deliver the medications to the patient so that he would have them while visiting his wife and before he headed home.
Such a display of determination for getting a patient his medication so that he could visit his wife in a nursing home before he headed home.
