Nominated by Paige Ramirez Professional Physicians Center Manager

Anastasia came to my office a few weeks back when it was raining and expressed concern for a patient that couldn’t get to her appointment with Dr. Duba because of the rain. She explained that the patient was in her car headed to the clinic for her appointment when sprinkling turned into a downpour. This patient did not have windows in her car. The patient was stuck at the Stripes on Main Street and was already running late but could not continue to drive. Anastasia asked permission to go pick up the patient so they would not have to miss the appointment due to him being booked out till the end of the year. I gave Anastasia permission to do so, and not only did she go get the patient, she even took them back after the appointment to their car. This is a true act of compassion on Anastasia’s part, not only did she show her friendly spirit, but she also displayed servant attitude, and demonstrated genuine concern for this patient.

“Our human compassion binds us the one to the other – not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.”
