Several members of a patient’s family nominated Sarah Haus for the Friend of Nursing Award. Sarah works as a patient care assistant on the Mercy Campus on the third floor.
The nomination expressed the family’s gratitude and admiration for Sarah:
We feel Sarah saved our father’s life. He returned to his room following a medical procedure but felt worse than before he left for the procedure. Sarah recognized his distress immediately and jumped into action.
She quickly put his oxygen on correctly, put the head of the bed up and called the rapid response [team]. Sarah is amazing and deserves an award for her quick actions.
Congratulations, Sarah.
