It’s only fitting that as part of our Nurses’ Week celebration in May, the Caregiver of the Month is a nurse. Ryan Lee of Madison, Miss. exhibits the PATH to Service Excellence each time he cares for patients. There have been many submissions expressing the great care Lee gives and the work with his team members.
One cancer patient who has been in Baptist several times expressed his appreciation for Lee’s diligence, patience and attention to every detail. “It was like I was the only patient in the whole hospital,” the patient said. “We have only experienced this kind of care at one other facility and that was Mayo Clinic.”
Lee’s coworkers described him as having an obvious passion “by teaching and demonstrating to a patient and family members wound dressings changes.” Another said, “My experience with Ryan in the SICU was with my mother who was very ill at the time. My daughter is preparing for nursing school, and Ryan took time to explain all of the instruments and tubes hooked up to my mom. She appreciated his willing attitude, and I was grateful that he took time to mentor her.
Additionally, he was very attentive to me during her almost 3 week stay in SICU.”
Even when Lee is pulled to another floor, his peers will send in their thanks through the reward and recognition system. He’s a valuable team member.
