Healing Hands is a program through which grateful patients and families can give a philanthropic gift in honor of a physician or staff member. Gifts may be of any amount (no minimum or maximum) and directed to the area of their choice. Honored staff members are then presented with a Healing Hands pin and notified of the patient’s gift at their departmental staff meeting.
This year, 61 physicians, nurses and support staff have been recognized by patients through this program.
The following physicians and staff were recognized by patients through the Healing Hands program in 2014.
