What’s your little something extra?

“Helping someone find or obtain something gives me a good challenge, and I love a challenge.”

“My "little something extra" is my empathy and eagerness to advocate for patient care. I want the best for others, even more than I desire it for myself.”

“We go that extra step as a TEAM to make sure our patients & caregivers at Children's Hospital Northshore Specialty Clinic are greeted with RESPECT & CARE!!”

“I love to share joy and culture through traditional Cajun cooking.”

“A friendly personality and a warm and inviting spirit.”

“My little something extra is treating everyone with kindness and respect. I want my work family, patients and their family members to feel heard, cared for and valued every day.”

“I treat all the patients the same no matter what. I introduce myself to every patient and smile, no matter how bad my day is.”

“In the OR, we strive to keep the family members updated while their loved one is in surgery. Those frequent and simple phone calls help to decrease the anxiety of the family while we are caring for the patient. The needs of the patient are of the utmost importance, but the needs of the family are also important to consider.”

“On my way to work I say a little prayer that I will have strength to make it though the day and that I will have the chance to share "my little something" which is having compassion and kindness to the patients and families that most likely are going through tough times at that moment.”

“My Little something Extra is: Making it happen for our patients and staff. Helping them to feel special and showing them how to make miracles happen. I am the "Encourager."”
