Silver Cross Hospital

#BEEAward recipient, Jocelyn Jude, CNA, made such an impact on a patient that she asked to speak to her supervisor! "One of the patients asked to talk to Jocelyn's clinical supervisor immediately after she left the room because she absolutely adored Jocelyn and said she was an angel sent from heaven.” 💗 Her nominator, Megan VanderWey, RN, said the patient went on and on about her compassionate care. “Doing something as simple as giving her a bath and helping put in her dentures made her feel 100% better. She was so thankful for all the nursing and CNA care given to her, but Jocelyn’s caring personality really stood out.” Congratulations and thank you, Jocelyn, for being excellent every day for your patients! #SilverCrossProud

Those with diabetes or heart disease are more likely to have Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Because of this, they are at an increased risk for developing non-healing wounds that may require advanced treatments, like hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy. For more information on how HBO therapy can help patients with PAD, call 815.300.5997. #WhereHealingHappens #WoundCareIsEssential
