Going above and beyond: Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital MVPs
Compassion MVP Award at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital
Fran Wilk, from Lisle, Nurse Clinician III, Critical Care Unit, is the 2nd quarter winner for the Compassion MVP. Wilk goes above and beyond when caring for her patients and the families of her patients. She was asked to do a speech for a memorial service for families of organ donors and immediately accepted. Wilk spoke spontaneously and directly from her spirit. She was poised, calm and personal. Many at this service found her words to be comforting and felt like this service helped them feel a sense of closure. She was truly a shining highlight of the service and her work in the CCU is greatly appreciated.
