Please join us in congratulating Tenika Fowler from the Post Surgical Care Unit (PCU) for receiving the ASH Star Award this quarter! Tenika’s dedication, professionalism, and heartwarming approach to patient care earned her a nomination from a patient.
Here’s what they had to say:

“From the moment Tenika walked in my patient room, she demonstrated not only excellent clinical skills but also a level of compassion and empathy that is truly rare. What stood out most was she noticed I was anxious after my surgery and took extra time to explain every step and checked on me frequently, ensuring I never felt alone during my hospital stay. Her ability to combine professionalism with genuine human connection made me feel safe, respected, and valued. Tenika speaks highly of her profession, and it is clear she takes great pride in the facility, providers, and overall patient experience. Tenika embodies the true spirit of patient care. Her dedication, warmth, and commitment to go above and beyond has left a lasting impact on me. I will always be grateful for her care, and I can think of no one more deserving of this recognition.”

Tenika, thank you for your unwavering commitment to excellence and compassion. Your efforts make a lasting impact on our patients, visitors, and team members. We are truly blessed to have you as part of the ASH family.
