Sally Boyd, RN of the Cedar Bluff office, recognized her PCM, Rachael Blankenship, for helping a newly admitted patient and her husband in learning about her Three Most Important Things. Her most important thing was for the couple to remain close together.
At the time of the admission, they discovered that this elderly couple had never been separated, and as the hospital bed arrived for the wife, the husband commented that they had never slept separately and didn't want to start now. There was a recliner in another room, and Sally & Rachael began to move furniture from one room to another, not letting their schedule interfere with the needs of this couple. They worked until they were able to move the recliner from the other room into the room with the hospital bed, so this couple could continue to reside close to each other and continue to sleep in the same room.
Another beautiful part of this story is that Sally recognized Rachael for her hard work, while she was right there working hard to move that furniture with her. What Sally didn't know was that Rachael had already bragged on Sally to their administrator. The administrator was filled with joy as each team member recognized the other, instead of claiming recognition for themselves. Sally and Rachael did this while bringing the patient and husband's most important thing to reality for them.
