“I’ve been working on the environmental services team for over 40 years now and I love it. We are the backbone of the hospital because we keep it clean and safe for everyone. Cleanliness is important each and every day, which is why I care so much about making sure my job is done well.”

“The general approach that we have for all of our patients - because they come from different situations, different diagnoses, different circumstances - is to never give up hope. We are candid but optimistic about what we’re confronted with. There’s something we can always try. Every child that comes in through the door - we take them on as an individual. Statistics exist, but that doesn’t set in stone where that patient is going to go.”

“As a tele-crisis clinician we are often the first people at Nationwide Children’s Hospital who families come in contact with when their children are experiencing a mental or behavioral health crisis. This is often an intensely stressful and scary situation. It is important for patients and families to be able to speak with licensed clinicians, who can help guide them through the process and provide reassurance when they need it most.”
