Alam was working an extra shift for a team member when she learned that her patient was being discharged to Sparrow Specialty Hospital. However, her patient’s husband and primary caregiver had also fallen ill, and his road ahead was uncertain. Despite her own dinner plans, Alam stayed beyond her shift to ensure the couple was able to see one another during their time of need.

In a heartwarming twist of fate, moments before the reunion, the patient’s spouse was successfully taken off a ventilator, a significant milestone in his recovery. This gave the couple the opportunity to visit with each other and their daughter in a moving and emotional reunion.
