Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital
Jill was part of a team of nurses that helped coordinate an effort to take a patient outside. This patient had been in the hospital for 30+ days and had seen nothing but hospital walls the entire time. The patient was not allowed any visitors during this admission. He was feeling down and just plain struggling. The nurses coordinated to take him outside for fresh air and sunshine. The patient was crying tears of joy and showed great appreciation for what the nurses had done for him. This was a perfect example of the IU Health Values!
