Anthony’s selflessness reflects his compassion, empathy, and resourcefulness.
Anthony helped a patient and partner achieve their wish of getting married before the patient passed away.

After the ceremony, there were tears on both sides. Everyone involved with or who witnessed this event was bolstered by the happiness it brought to this couple.
