My heart is so happy that we have employees like this willing to step outside the box when needed.
Sharon McQuade, a CPhT at DRH's Lincoln Community Health Center Pharmacy, is recognized by Hortense Jones, a pharmacy tech supervisor at DRH-LCHC Pharmacy.
"We are so proud of her heroic response to a patient. This is the comment we receive from Awanya Caesar, the head medical clinic nurse at DRH-LCHC Pharmacy:
'Sharon identified a patient in the parking lot that did not make it into a parking space due to an acute medical condition. The patient was non-responsive and Sharon immediately ran into the building and paged the triage nurse stat, per protocol. Sharon assisted in getting a wheel chair for the patient and parking the patient's car. My heart is so happy that we have employees like this willing to step outside the box when needed.'"
