Cindy Hughes Named Service Hero For Helping Patient Get Home
Congratulations Cindy Hughes, Clinical Dietitian, for being recognized as a Hot Springs Service Hero!
Cindy was nominated for the award by a coworker who witnessed her humankindness toward a patient during inclement weather.
When this patient was discharged, his family members were expected to pick him up. However, the patient couldn’t find his family and was roaming the hallways of the hospital in his house shoes.
Cindy saw him and asked if she could help him. She discovered that the patient did not have his cell phone or his wallet and he was unsure of how he would get home. Cindy had the patient sit while she gathered details and formulated a plan for him.
She called an Uber for the patient and paid for it. He asked to make arrangements to come back and repay her, but she declined, and the patient gave her a hug as he left.
“I am so proud to work with caring people such as Cindy Hughes.”
