Congratulations to our recent Sunflower Award recipient, Leasa Dowden-Parrott, emergency services associate, from Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph, Medical Center, Emergency Department (ED). 🌻

Leasa's nomination reads:

“I'm nominating Leasa for going way above her tech duties to brighten a patient's day in the ED. This woman was stuck here on her birthday with high blood sugar, so no cake or celebrations possible, but Leasa didn't let that stop her. She took it upon herself to print a birthday card, rallied the staff to sign it, and made the patient feel truly special in a tough moment. Her thoughtfulness turned a rough day into something memorable, showing exactly why she's an amazing member to have on our team. Leasa's the kind of teammate who doesn't just do the job; she makes a real difference.”
