Acknowleduation Speech: First HD Nurse

Decent Essays
Good morning.

Just wanted to share some good news about our first HD patient the 49 yr old woman.

Last week while I was in a training I saw that she called me several times. So I stepped out and called her back. She was so excited that she had started getting her Meals on Wheels. And it was Salmon with dill sauce!

In addition, Caring Carroll came out yesterday, and will start sending a volunteer to take her for errands and spend time with her next week. Also, Carroll County Health Department came out and assessed the patient. The care coordinator also followed up yesterday and will start all of her in-home caregiver services right away.

I’m more than impressed with Carroll County’s responsiveness! And I’m thrilled that we were able
