✨ Patient Experience Week Spotlight: Rabique Pete, RN ✨

For Rabique Pete, RN, patient experience is about making sure every patient feels heard, respected, and cared for during some of life’s most difficult moments.

“As an ER nurse, I see patients and families at their most vulnerable times. Often, they are scared and unsure of what’s next. To me, it’s not just about the care we provide, but how we make them feel. Being a listening ear, offering comfort, and helping ease their worries is just as important as any treatment.”

Rabique makes a difference by being present, compassionate, and attentive—even in the fast-paced environment of the Emergency Room.

“I always try to slow down for my patients when it matters most. Taking the time to listen, address concerns, and provide reassurance can make all the difference. Sometimes, the smallest moments—a quick conversation or simply checking in—help patients and families feel more comfortable and supported.”

What does Rabique enjoy most about serving our patients and community?

“Being there for people when they need it most. I love getting to know my patients and their families, even if it’s only for a short time. Those connections mean everything to me. The most rewarding part is seeing a patient leave with a smile or hearing a simple ‘thank you.’ Knowing I made a difference in someone’s life makes it all worth it.”

💙 Thank you, Rabique, for the compassion, comfort, and exceptional care you provide every day!

🌟 Mercy Monday Spotlight 🌟

Meet Cynthia Deshotels, Registration Supervisor at Mercy Regional Medical Center! 💙

Cynthia has been a part of the Mercy family for 27 years and says the hospital has truly become her second home.

“I enjoy working with patients, coworkers, and physicians every day. I like knowing that I put a smile on someone’s face and made their day a little brighter.”

For Cynthia, patient experience is all about treating everyone like family, understanding their needs, and helping put their minds at ease during their hospital visit.

As Registration Supervisor, she strives to ensure every patient has the best experience possible — whether it’s helping with registration, answering insurance or billing questions, or simply offering a warm welcome and compassionate care.

“What I enjoy most is treating every patient with respect, kindness, and compassion, and knowing I helped them overcome fear when arriving at our hospital.”

Outside of work, Cynthia enjoys spending time with her husband, Jean Baptiste, their four children — Justin, Elizabeth, Zackery, and Ashley — along with their six amazing grandchildren: Lillian, Ella Rayne, Susan, Madison, Marilyn, and Roman, plus their four grand dogs! 🐾 She also loves fishing, shopping, and vacationing with her husband.

Thank you, Cynthia, for your dedication, compassion, and 27 years of service to our patients and community! 💙
