Hospital Corporation (CHC) has announced Patricia (Patri) Bailey, Advanced Patient Care
Technician at ContinueCARE Hospital at Hendrick Medical Center, as
the 2024 winner of the Dan Wilford
Award for Compassion and Community Service. ContinueCARE Hospital
at Hendrick Medical Center is a long-term acute care hospital owned
by CHC.
"Patri's level of commitment to community service and the
hospital has been truly outstanding," said Jim Kendrick, CHC president and CEO. She was
named national winner among 14 nominees. The award, named after
Dan Wilford, a founding CHC board
member and retired CEO of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System of
Houston, Texas, represents
outstanding care and remarkable concern for a community and its
local hospital. Kendrick will present Bailey the award in
August.
Patri Bailey will be
recognized during a special 10-Year Anniversary Celebration and
tour of ContinueCARE Hospital at Hendrick Medical Center planned
for August 12, 2024 at the facility:
1900 Pine Street, 7th Floor, Jones Building, Abilene, TX 79601.
Bailey was nominated by ContinueCARE Hospital at Hendrick
Medical Center administration personnel who shared: "Patri performs
her daily duties of caring for patients in an exemplary manner. She
often engages in extraordinary acts of kindness that not only
improves the quality of her work environment for her patients but
also the entire hospital staff. Her random acts of kindness to both
patients and staff epitomize the future culture of our
hospital."
Advancing her education from a certified nurse assistant to
advanced patient care technician has allowed hospital staff nurses
with advanced training to complete other tasks and function at the
highest level of their license.
Bailey demonstrates extraordinary compassion and care, as noted
by hospital staff and family members alike, allowing patients to
'feel human again'. She also provides special care for area
