Gizmo the Therapy Dog: A Tail-Wagging Miracle of Healing

In the halls of our hospital, healing doesn’t always come from medicine alone. Sometimes, it arrives on four paws with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. Gizmo, one of Saint Joseph Medical Center's cherished therapy dogs, has a gift for bringing joy to everyone she meets—but now and then, her impact is truly extraordinary.

During a recent visit, Gizmo and her handler, Nicole M. entered the room of a patient who had been mostly nonverbal and difficult to engage. What happened next was nothing short of magical. The patient began to smile—and even started having conversations. The transformation was so moving, it brought the nurse to tears.

As Nicole and Gizmo left the room, the nurse handed them a heartfelt note that read:
"Thank you for bringing your baby and her spirit to that room. I can tell Gizmo gave him the strength that medicine can't."

Moments like these remind us why pet therapy is such a vital part of the healing journey. Gizmo didn’t just brighten a room—she opened a door to connection, comfort, and hope. It’s stories like this that fuel our passion and reaffirm the heart behind what we do every single day. ❤️

We are proud to announce that DeAsia Jackson, RN has been honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses at St. Joseph Medical Center–Joliet! 💛

This award celebrates nurses who provide exceptional, compassionate care to patients and their families every day. Each month, one nurse is recognized during a surprise celebration, with nominations coming from patients, families, and colleagues.

DeAsia was nominated by a patient’s family member, who shared:

“DeAsia is hands down the best nurse I've had in any hospital that I've been in. She's kind, supportive, fast, and so nice besides being my nurse—she was more like a friend. The level of respect and care she provides can't be beat! She made the experience of being here more comfortable. She makes you feel like you matter, not just another patient. She deserves this award!!!”

At Saint Joseph Medical Center, recognizing the dedication of team members is an important part of building a culture of excellence. That commitment is at the heart of the WOW Reward and Recognition program, a program created to honor physicians, volunteers, and employees whose actions reflect the mission and goals of the hospital.

The program's first honoree is Aryn K., who was nominated by a colleague for filling in on a shift without hesitation. When thanked for her efforts, Aryn responded that she was "happy to help in any way she could."

Her dedication is a reflection of teamwork that keeps patient care at the highest standard across the hospital.
