Values of Healthcare.

Being on a code team as a phlebotamist, a 20 something psyche aid considering the fine line of mental health, a porter transporting people and supplies to diagnostics or emergency— as well as studying nursing — gave me some perspective of patientcare for seven years. OH! The intricacies of this incredible mini city. Each department had to function well as a whole. All different with the same common core value, patient care. My mom’s engaging stories on the importance of patient care, strategizing a healthy outcome were childhood lessons at the dinner table.

During the Covid pandemic, I wanted to hear more from healthcare communities.

How was a young cancer patient affected with social distancing, not being allowed to bring in a support person, their services being discontinued or disrupted. Personally upset that media was saturated with politicians, I wanted to amplify the voice of those immunosuppressed. I want to hear the insights of the community caring for patients. Give a platform to those transformed by cancer, those experienced. Every day, they had something more important to say that I just couldn’t hear.
