Brayden Adams, an employee in the Baxter Health laboratory, has been honored with a Heroes with Halos award, a distinction given by the Baxter Health Foundation to recognize staff members singled out by their patients for exceptional care.
The award was presented to Adams by Anthony Reed, vice president of ancillary services; Cindy Costa and Trisha Terry of the Baxter Health Foundation; Laboratory Director Ralph Van Dyke; Phlebotomy Supervisor Kathy McNair; and other members of the laboratory staff, in a ceremony held to commemorate the recognition.
Adams was nominated by a patient who wrote about their experience, praising the care they received during a blood draw. The patient noted that Adams successfully completed the procedure on the first attempt without needing to reposition the needle. Additionally, Adams took extra time to assist the patient in adjusting their bed before leaving the room, demonstrating thoughtfulness and dedication to their comfort.
The Heroes with Halos program provides patients and their families an opportunity to honor a Baxter Health provider, employee, volunteer, or department for making a meaningful difference in their care. Nominations can be submitted through the Baxter Health website at baxterhealth.org/heroes.
