Please join us in saying congratulations to Megan on receiving a much-deserved LOTUS Award for exceptional compassionate care, dedication, and service! 🏆

As a Clinical Oncology Pharmacist and the PGY-2 Heme/Onc Residency Director, Megan treats all of our patients like they’re family. If there’s a definition of impeccable bedside manner and relationship-building with patients, then Megan is it, based on her nomination. Here’s an excerpt from her nomination story from a colleague:

“To Megan, patients are not just names on a chart or prescriptions to be filled; they are family. She takes the time to provide thorough education, ensuring each patient and their loved ones fully understand their treatment, while never making them feel rushed or unheard. Her patience and willingness to spend extra time with every individual reflect her deep respect for the people she serves.

What makes her truly remarkable is the personal connection she builds with each patient. She takes the time to learn about their hobbies, interests, and life stories, remembers those details, and uses them to bring comfort, smiles, and laughter. Her presence alone can brighten a room. Her laugh is contagious, and when she laughs, staff and patients alike know she is nearby and can't help but smile themselves. She brings joy, warmth, and positivity wherever she goes.”

Megan embodies our patient-first approach to health care, and we hope you’ll celebrate her with us in the comments! 🎉 💙

Marcele is living proof of the importance of regular mammograms. 🩷

This grandmother of six didn’t feel any lumps or anything that would raise flags, but she still kept her mammogram appointment. It was there that tests revealed clusters of white dots, called pleomorphic spots or calcifications, in her right breast. First Coast News asked Marcele's doctor, our very own Dr. Karen Ching-Tismal, to explain what that meant for Marcele:

"Pleomorphic spots are the same calcium you have in bones and teeth, but sometimes they grow in breast tissue and can be the earliest manifestations of breast cancer," she said.

We’re thrilled to report that Marcele has rang the bell and returned to her adoring grandchildren. Catching her breast cancer early had a profound impact on her. 💪

“It gives you a different outlook on life... and you can't go through it without God holding your hand," she said.

You can watch Marcele’s inspiring story and learn how to schedule visits from our mobile mammogram Buddy Bus at the link in the first comment! ⬇️

Some recognitions are truly bittersweet, and perhaps none more than the Team Miller Strong Award recently given to members of our team by the family of Robert J. Miller IV.

Robert courageously battled brain cancer for ten months, and members of his family were on hand for the presentation of this award. The Miller family wanted to ensure the Neurological Oncology team and select members of the Revenue Cycle team were recognized for the exceptional care and compassion provided to Robert. As this recognition included Neuro Oncology, Hospital-Based Revenue Cycle, and Physician-Based Revenue Cycle, all the teams were joined together under the name of the patient who united them, creating Team Miller Strong.

Robert may no longer be with us, but his courage and his strength remain a part of every member of Team Miller Strong. It's actually our team that owes Robert and his family the heartfelt gratitude. 💙 💙

Heart disease doesn't always look the same in women. Symptoms can be subtle and easily dismissed, which is why awareness is so important. 🫀❣️

On Wear Red Day, we're shining a light on women's heart health and the importance of knowing the signs, understanding the risk factors and seeking care when something doesn't feel right.

Your heart matters - today and every day. ❤️ 💪

Please join us in saying congratulations to Shalonda on winning our LOTUS Award, which honors our incredbiel non-nursing health care heroes! 🏆

Shalonda is the definition of a team player and someone who always puts her patients first. Her nomination story was so heartfelt and perfectly captured the impact she makes every single day — we thought we'd share an excerpt from it with you below!

"Shalonda always goes above and beyond for her patients and fellow cohorts. She is quick to respond to those in need and is always happy to help. She is what Baptist stands for when it comes to our core values." 💙

Way to make us , Shalonda! Let's hear it for her in the comments! 🥳
