Because of Taylor's persistence and even the patient calling her his “dialysis wife” he received a kidney in September 2020.
We had a patient that frequently missed treatments but was trying to improve so that he could get on the transplant list so he could receive a kidney. Taylor educated the patient every treatment to improve his lab values and rescheduled all his missed treatments to ensure he had a low missed treatment rate. Because of her persistence and even the patient calling her his “dialysis wife” he received a kidney in September 2020. The VP of the division added this: This teammate has gone above and beyond to help her region and division through leadership and nursing shortages. She leaned in during COVID and continues to be a behavioral leader and role model. We are thrilled to recognize a TM who truly loves her profession and finds meaningful ways to “give life” with every interaction.
