Our latest BEE Award winner really exemplifies the heart of a DCH Caregiver! This is what a patient wrote about Tommy Sanders, Jr. (Rehab, Northport Medical Center):
During my stay in the Rehab Pavilion, I had the privilege of being cared for by Tommy Sanders, Jr., who went above and beyond in his role as my PCA. Tommy was attentive, funny and engaging – his positive energy often helped take my mind off both my spinal injury and the difficult emotions of recently losing my son in a car accident. He was sensitive and compassionate about what I was going through, yet also encouraged me to keep pushing through my pain and focus on my recovery. His upbeat attitude, patience and genuine care made a lasting impact on my healing journey. Plus, I have to mention he always smelled good and his sneaker game was on point! :)
Tommy truly made a tough season a little brighter, and I’m sincerely grateful for the support and motivation he provided during my rehabilitation.
Nicely done, Tommy! Congratulations!
