Aya traveler Virginia exceeds a patient’s expectations

One of our travelers was recently recognized by a patient who sent this message to the healthcare facility’s director:

“I recently became very ill, needing to rely on the hospital system to take care of me. I have been in and out of the hospital approximately 4-5 times within the past year and a half. Although I have received exceptional care from the doctor and staff throughout my in and out visits, my last visit [was] one that I will never forget. I was moved to the 4th floor (West) where a nurse by the name Virginia took care of me…that is a nurse who loves her job and patients and goes that extra mile. She made my stay the most pleasant as I can ever remember. It was refreshing working in the health field for so many years to see someone take so much pride in their job. I just wanted to write you to let you know that she will never be forgotten and to please pass on to her ‘a job well done’ keep up the good work. Thank you so much and representing [the facility] as I remembered.”
