Michaela Logan, VPPatient Experience, Conducted a Walk-a-Mile with Barbara and Marcella fromFood and Nutrition Services.
“Ihad a chance to build and pass trays on several departments with these ladies. Both Barbara and Marcella so warm and friendly in their interactions with the patients and work very hard to meet their dietary needs. Our FANS team and hospital are so fortunate to have them.
Thank you, Barbara and Marcella, for the many ways you show up for our patients and colleagues. You are appreciated!”
