Hark! It wasn’t angels, but the angelic voices of the George Washington University Choir that staff and guests heard in the lobby last week.

The student choir, as part of a class assignment, visited the hospital the evening of December 3 and serenaded listeners with seasonal songs. One hospital visitor was so moved by the performance that she asked if she could sing a solo and she did! Thank you to the GW Choir for sharing your talents and making the hospital lobby a place of joy and harmony!

We love recognizing team members who go above and beyond! Today’s spotlight shines on Shahida Hossain, RN, whose quick thinking and advocacy saved a patient’s life.

During what seemed like a routine case, Shahida noticed the patient’s pain wasn’t improving and pushed for further evaluation. Thanks to her intuition and persistence, an EKG revealed a STEMI and the patient was rushed to the cath lab, where a blocked artery was cleared within minutes.

Her dedication and thoroughness turned a potential tragedy into a success story. This is what compassionate, exceptional care looks like!
