served as a weekly supervisor for another employee working on her certification
as a licensed independent social worker. Throughout the 18-month experience,
Jill demonstrated many Core Values starting with Excellence
and Service in supervising the social worker.
During one of the sessions, a patient returned to St. Rita's after group
therapy had ended for the day. Jill saw the woman in the hall and excused
herself. She spent some time with the woman allowing her to express her
feelings. Jill understood that because of the woman's illness, the patient
was having a severe emotional reaction to some stress in her life. She listened
and then hugged the woman, treating her not as a person with mental illness,
but as another human having a difficult time.
Her Compassion and respect for the individual's
Human Dignity were obvious. She also made certain
the patient did not plan to harm herself before she left, attesting to her
belief in Sacredness of Life.
Jill made no explanation or excuse, she simply responded to a person in
need…something she does everyday both personally and professionally. Her
actions not only helped the patient, but also the social worker who again
witnessed our Core Values in action. Jill's selfless commitment to helping
others whether it is another professional or a patient, is truly an inspiration.
We are proud to name Jill Miller, a Legend of St. Rita's. |
