SPECIAL EXPERIENCE OR FAVORITE MOMENT AT WAYNE HEALTHCARE:

There are many favorite and special moments over the last 19 years! Some that come to mind are:

I love it when a team of employees come together to do what is best for the patient, whether at the bedside, or support departments or in meetings to change systems and processes. I see it happen here almost every day!

I loved being part of the “AIDET 5”. It was truly rewarding to see so many of the staff having a great time being part of the video. The creativity, hard work, and engagement that went into making something memorable about customer service was very moving.

I cherish the friends I have met along the way. We’ve had some great laughs and big tears. I hope to continue to make ones in the years ahead.
