Compassion is at the heart of everything we do at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital. So it comes as no surprise to us that two of our own - Nurse Practitioner Mary Martin-Vavra and Wellness Coordinator AnnMarie Smith - were recently recognized by Liberty Resource's Help Restore Hope Center for the compassionate care they provided to a patient who sought help as well as care.
The award, presented during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, recognizes these two exceptional caregivers for their work with a patient, who stated she "finally felt safe, comfortable and validated" while in their care.
Mary and AnnMarie, you have our heartfelt congratulations on this well-deserved recognition - and our gratitude for the compassionate care you provided not just this patient, but all those in your care.
