When people have a family member in the intensive care unit, it’s common for them to stay the night at the hospital.

Two such family members stayed the night with a loved one on the unit at Mount Carmel West recently. When they realized how long it had been since they’d eaten, they went to the cafeteria for breakfast only to realize when they got to the front of the line that they didn’t have enough money to pay for their food. When cashier, Marie L., realized their dilemma, she told them not to worry and reached into her own pocket for the difference.

It’s the kind of compassion our associates demonstrate every day. It shows that every person at Mount Carmel has a hand in providing patient-centered care. Thanks, Marie, for your generosity.
