SIMED Staff Recognize Patients Impact on Lives

SIMED staff recognizes our incredible patients during Patient Recognition Week

February 1 - 7 is officially known as Patient Recognition Week. While staff at SIMED always appreciates our wonderful, pleasant, and thoughtful patients, we wanted to give our employees the opportunity to express their thanks.

We spoke with five staff members and asked them what impact their patients had on their lives. We were touched by the answers and warmed to know that our staff rely on their patients just as much as the patients rely on them.

Read what they had to say, and Happy Patient Recognition Week.
