Hospital Happenings
Ashley Dupell, OT, goes the extra mile in making patients feel welcome. For example, we had a patient who spoke Russian with limited English. Ashley learned Russian phrases and words to be able to welcome the patient to every therapy session and make the sessions easier for her to understand. She also learned numbers to indicate repetitions. Ashley is pictured receiving her employee of the quarter award from Marcus Braz, CEO.
