Star Tech of the Month
From a spinal injury patient, " I was having a really bad day when i got switched to a bistro program unbeknownst to me. iI didn't get a breakfast as a result. She felt so bad that she went and made sure i got meals the rest the rest of the day while I was struggling with mental health in bed. I could go on and on. Her contagious, smile and laughter made everyday I saw her a better day. Kristy always has a smile on her face and just has an uplifting personality that makes being here at Craig much easier. She always made sure I had what i needed and made my stay here much more comfortable. my best days were when Kristy was my tech. you all should be grateful to have you on her team because I was grateful she was mine.
I received this this acknowledgment from a patient i was taking care of for 5 months, which is why I believe i received Star Tech of the Month.
