🌟 Celebrating our RISEing Star, Laurie Jansen! 🌟
Laurie’s compassion, dedication, and genuine care for others make a difference every day. As Senior Care Manager for Outpatient Services, she goes above and beyond to help patients navigate their care, especially when they are facing challenges or feeling overwhelmed.
Recently, Laurie supported a patient she had previously worked with who experienced significant healthcare anxiety and had struggled to make it to appointments because of anxiety and transportation barriers. When Laurie learned the patient had an appointment scheduled around the time of his hospital discharge, she stepped in to help make it possible.
Laurie coordinated with the care team and personally escorted the patient to his appointment at Hannibal Regional Medical Group, providing the reassurance and familiar support he needed. What may have seemed like a simple gesture made a meaningful difference for this patient and helped him feel safe and cared for during a vulnerable time.
This is just one example of the countless ways Laurie advocates for and supports her patients. She consistently leads with kindness and empathy and has a deep commitment to helping others. She is also an exceptional team player who readily supports her colleagues and contributes to a positive, collaborative work environment.
Laurie's work ethic is unmatched. She is dependable, loyal, and always follows through on her commitments. Her selflessness extends beyond the workplace as well. As a living kidney donor, Laurie has demonstrated the same generosity and compassion in her personal life that she brings to her work every day.
Beyond her exceptional skills and dedication, Laurie brings joy to those around her. Her infectious laugh, enthusiasm, and quick wit brighten the workplace, and it is truly an honor to work alongside her.
Congratulations, Laurie, on being a RISEing Star! We are so grateful for the heart you bring to everything you do. 🌟👏
