THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT sta at Mercy Medical Center-Centerville works with many people who are dealing with more than just
a health condition. This could mean listening to people who are lonely, sharing time with people who might be homeless or passing on
information about the healthcare system, such as providing details about getting a primary care physician or working with social services to
get patients the care they need outside of the Emergency Department.
Sometimes serving a patient's needs can be more basic, such as helping out when a patient doesn't have a ride. One such instance
occurred recently over the holidays. A patient didn't have transportation and didn't have anyone to call for a ride home. Cody Babbitt, RN,
had been involved with the patient's care and, at the conclusion of his shift, noticed the patient was still waiting. Cody didn't hesitate to oer
the patient a ride home. His co workers were touched by Cody's compassion and were proud of his LiveUp example.
Thank you, Cody, for LivingUp and letting grace be your guide.
