A Compassionate Care Giver: She didn’t see it coming!

She was asked if she could lead a class on the new use of Epidural Pumps for pain control, and when she arrived in the cafeteria to take part in the ice cream bar and have a visit before the class, she didn’t seem to suspect that anything special at all was about to happen. When the name of the Compassionate Caregiver Award of Distinction recipient was announced, Pam Joyce RN seemed completely surprised by the accolades shared about her spirit of caring for her patients and her peers.

The award is a Royal Copenhagen figurine, gifted to CKHA in 2008 by an anonymous donor in appreciation of care provided to their loved one. The award comes with a financial gift to be used towards education at CKHA to further staff expertise in caring for patients at the end of life. Congratulations, Pam. This award is well deserved.
