North Pharmacist Wins Service Hero Honor

Congratulations go out to Dr. Craig Pafford, a pharmacist at the North campus, on being named a CHI St. Vincent Service Hero!

Dr. Pafford was at the North hospital during a brief power outage that affected some of the computers. A patient on 4A was having seizures, and the hospitalist could not get the orders for medication into the computer. Dr. Pafford got the verbal orders, ran down to the pharmacy, filled the prescription, and returned with the needed Keppra to help calm the patient’s symptoms. His ability to adapt under difficult circumstances made the difference that day.

Congratulations and thank you, Dr. Pafford! Remember, if you have a coworker who has gone the extra mile to make things better for someone, nominate them! Click this link to access the CHI St. Vincent Service Hero form and tell us about them!
