Congratulations to ProMedica Wildwood Orthopaedic and Spine Hospital ROSE Award recipient, Jessica Cass, CT Technologist, Radiology and DAISY Award recipient, Justin Shultz, RN!

Jessica was nominated by a grateful family member who appreciated her urgency and going above and beyond in her care and treatment for a patient. “Jessica went way above and beyond in her care and treatment, and she went above and beyond for us both by respecting our time and comfort. We appreciated everything about her interaction.”

Justin received two nominations, both from patients who felt Justin was kind and attentive. “Justin has a great bedside manner, a witty personality that put me at ease and made me laugh, which is not easy after surgery. He was always there when he said he would be. Gentle and compassionate but gave the extra nudge when I needed it. A GREAT RN!!”

Congratulations Jessica and Justin!🎉
