Comfort in the face of fearDuring his rounds, Security Officer Donald Williams noticed an anxious patient preparing for a blood draw. After sharing his own fear of needles, Donald sat with Chase throughout his procedure.
“I’m not sure why Corporal Williams was able to get through to Chase,” said Chase’s mom. “But whatever it was, he showed up when he didn’t have to—when a desperate mom needed him the most!"
Small act of kindness, big impactClinical nurse Margaux Rogers was having a particularly rough night during a capacity surge in the PICU. Alex Williams, who works in Supply Chain and Logistics, saw her crying and stopped.
Margaux was strengthened by the kindness of a stranger who, at three in the morning, cared enough to make sure she was okay. “Alex made me feel like I could go back and do my job. He reminded me of the community that can be found even at a huge hospital.”
Providing care, encouraging dreamsJennifer Boisseau and Theresa Byrd, members of our Salon Services team, were called to help a surgical patient with a noticeable incision along the shaved area of her head. As the team gave her a new style that left her feeling confident, the patient expressed her interest in becoming a cosmetologist.
Jennifer and Theresa gave her a mannequin to practice braiding hair—an ideal form of therapy to maintain hand dexterity after surgery.
Compassion, creativity, cookingA medically complex patient was transferred to Middleman Family Pavilion, where she required frequent interaction to keep her preoccupied. In response, a team of Breakthrough Makers created a cooking class to help the patient take accountability for her diet in a fun way.
Donning an ear-to-ear smile and personalized “CHOP King of Prussia Chef” jacket, she learned about and prepared meals alongside clinical nutrition and food services professionals.
Encouraging healing through fun
A patient recovering from surgery was on his fourth day of not being allowed to eat. He woke up nauseous and spent most of the morning vomiting.
Fortunately, Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy professionals Michal Warchol and Andrea Dillard had been paying attention to his interests. They helped the patient—a WWE superfan—interview some of his favorite wrestlers at our broadcast media center, Seacrest Studios. After a difficult morning, he told his mother it was “the best day of his life.”
