Newburgh, NY – St. Luke’s Cornwall hospital has named Jessica Stephens, Radiology Technologist II, as its April Star of the Month. Stephens, an employee since 2005, was nominated after a recent encounter with a family in the Emergency Department (ED).
A patient and her grandmother were greeted by Jessica who took the time to explain the medicine and tests her granddaughter were going to receive. By the time of the procedure the patient was calm and prepared, putting the family at ease.
When asked if she liked her job Jessica replied “no, I love it,” and it shows! The family felt as though they were the only ones in the room. “Her positive attitude was contagious,” the patient’s family said.
