Yet, as the story of Housekeeper Kim Webb demonstrates, these seemingly insignificant acts can make all the difference in a patient’s experience.

A recent patient found herself in Kim’s care. She noticed Kim’s friendly demeanor and the meticulous way she cleaned the room each day. It wasn’t just about tidying up; it was about creating a welcoming environment for someone who was already feeling vulnerable.
