Patty and Carolina, clerical care coordinators, were waiting for a beloved patient one morning when something didn't feel right. The charming, happy-go-lucky 70-year-old man had been coming to Ocean University Medical Center twice a week for years, always arriving an hour early to chat with team members and patients in the outpatient oncology unit. But on this day, he hadn't yet arrived. Patty and Carolina knew something was wrong. “Something didn’t feel right to us,” said Carolina. “He always arrives early to his appointments, so when he didn’t, we felt worried.” Patty and Carolina decided to call the patient, and they did so several times. After no luck reaching him, and knowing he lived alone, they jumped into action. Trusting their instincts, they escalated their concerns to a social worker who connected with his emergency contact, a close friend. The patient’s friend arrived at his home and found him lying on the floor nearly unresponsive. The patient was brought to the Emergency Department and was admitted to the Critical Care Unit with a diagnosis of metabolic acidosis, urosepsis and acute renal failure. Had Patty and Carolina not been concerned and taken action, this patient would have had a much different outcome. The patient received the appropriate care, and was able to leave the CCU a few days after, making a miracle recovery. “We went up to visit him when he was still admitted,” said Patty. “Our patients feel like family to us.” For their care beyond expectations, both Patty and Carolina will receive network-wide awards.

As we gather with friends and family, we are truly grateful for those who ensure our community is cared for on this day and every other. Thank you. #fourthofjuly #gratitude #thankyou
