A SPIRIT OF CARE & COMPASSION! We wanted to take a moment to recognize Bethany (Bee) Brubaker, RN, at Baptist North. One of her recent patients was so happy with the care that he received, he went home to handcraft his own DAISY Award for Bethany. He said that he did not know how to nominate her so he figured that he would make her one. He is wheelchair-bound and still made it a point to return to #BaptistNorth to deliver his gift to her directly. Bethany, you left a lasting impression on this patient. Your dedication is an inspiration! Thank you for putting smiles on our team members and patients. We're #BaptistProud to have you on our team! 💙

Emergency rooms are certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but good friends and a positive attitude can make the experience much more palatable. ☕ When Jill Quist recently experienced weakness and difficulty breathing, she asked her neighbor, Judy, to take her to #BaptistBeaches ER. “When I arrived, I was greeted by a security guard,” said Quist, explaining this was the beginning of a “great day” in the ER where team members worked to make her as comfortable as possible. Quist has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments at Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Her ER nurses quickly sprang into action and her emergency medical specialist Dr. Mohsen Akhlaghi with Emergency Resources Group, informed her she may be there awhile because he wanted to run a lot of tests to get to the root of the problem. Wanting to make the most of the day (and not miss an opportunity for a good tea party), Judy left after Quist’s husband and sister arrived only to return with a full cream tea. “She came back with bone china, a selection of teas, cream, sugar and homemade cherry scones that were amazing,” said Quist, adding that she had a great time and Dr. Akhlaghi and her nurses joined in on the fun. “This isn’t my first visit to an ER. Tell me this, how often do you walk out thinking I had a good day? I consider that to be a good day and I’m thankful to my neighbor and the team at Baptist Beaches ER.” We are #BaptistProud of all of our emergency departments and the teams who strive to make it a great day for all of their patients. 💙

Wishing you a happy & safe Fourth of July!

WE'RE ALL HUMANS FIRST: As we close out #PrideMonth, get to know Leah Cooter, wound care nurse at Baptist Medical Center Beaches! If you’ve ever spoken with Leah, it’s obvious that she cares about people. Nearly 14 years ago and straight out of nursing school, Leah joined Baptist Health and has held several positions during her time here. “I realized early on in my nursing career that I really love to teach. When our nursing students would come on the unit, it was so fun and rewarding to help them get their start and find their passion for nursing. I’m so grateful for the years I spent with the Learning and Development team,” Leah said. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and co-chair for the BaptistPRIDE Employee Resource Group (ERG), it was important for Leah to emphasize to our nurse residents that all people are deserving of compassionate and quality care. “We're all humans first. And people, no matter their beliefs or background, are all so valuable,” Leah said. “Genuine, compassionate care can make a strong impact on our patients’ outcomes. The Learning and Development team does its best to support that culture and make it the best that it can be here at Baptist.” “Throughout my life, it’s been up and down. Parts of my family are accepting and others, not so much. It was hard for me to be open about my needs and feelings. Thankfully, I was able to lean on my friends and family who embraced me for who I am,” Leah said. “In all honesty, volunteering and caring for my patients helps remind me that we are all deserving of love and fair treatment. Caring for them helps me love myself even more.” Leah has been a member of the BaptistPRIDE ERG since its inception in 2015 and walked in the very first pride parade that Baptist participated in. “I feel like the ERG is so valuable because it shows our team members and our community that everyone is welcome here. My 25-year-old son also works at Baptist South as a transporter, and I couldn’t be prouder to have him working alongside me at an organization that values diversity and equality.” “It’s amazing that I can be here today to share this message with you, holding my head up high, because others have laid down the foundation of a path to equality. We are walking along the same path today and, brick by brick, we are doing our best to grow it for the next generation,” Leah said. She added, “In honor of Pride Month, I’d like to remind everyone that there is no such thing as perfection. Give yourself grace, give others grace, and do your best to see the world through different perspectives. I think doing this will help drive our love and compassion for one another and lead to a better, brighter community.” #BaptistProud
