worked with a dialysis patient for several months. Through her compassionate
care, she built up a special rapport with him. One afternoon after completing
his treatment, he asked Jan if she would gather all the patients and
staff so he could say a prayer. She was able to gather everyone together
and the patient was able to offer his prayer.
After the prayer, the patient thanked Jan for her assistance. He confided
that he had never prayed before because he was afraid people would laugh
at him. Jan encouraged him in his spiritual growth and wished him well as
he left the unit. When he reached his car, the patient had a major medical
complication and died that afternoon.
Jan's actions reflected our Core Values of Compassion,
Human Dignity and Sacredness of Life
in helping this patient with both his physical and spiritual needs. Although
this is just one example, Jan has consistently shown our Core Values in
action in her 33 years at St. Rita's.
We are proud to name Jan Kile, a Legend of St. Rita's. |
