Little acts of compassion

Therese, an RN nurse manager, began her career at Providence Portland Medical Center at age 15 in the kitchen delivering food to patients. After swapping out green Jell-O for red for a patient who felt ignored, it resonated with Therese that little things can make a significant impact on a patient’s wellbeing. She tells Mike, a communications director at Providence, that sometimes you don’t need more medical treatments, just little acts of compassion. Edit credit: Mike Addis
