Opening Thoughts The Guardian Angel Program provides a philanthropic opportunity for grateful patients and their loved ones to recognize a special caregiver who they believe made a difference during their visit to PCRMC. To honor a staff member, patients or their loved ones fill out a Guardian Angel form, include the name of the individual(s) they wish to honor and enclose their gift of any amount. The Guardian Angel Program enables patients to say “thanks” and to honor caregivers and other staff who helped make their experience positive. The Phelps Regional Healthcare Foundation has provided the Guardian Angel Program for a little more than one year. During that time, more than 100 physicians and employees have been recognized for outstanding care and compassion by their patients. To recognize a staff member, patients simply fill out the Guardian Angel form and name the individual they wish to honor. They can also leave a special message for their honoree. If you choose to participate in the Guardian Angel Program, you are demonstrating your gratitude for superior patient care in a philanthropic way.
