Nominated by Manuel Barriga, Bio Med Coordinator

Christy stood up to be a patient advocate for a patient that had a very hard time scheduling a sleep study appointment. This patient had worked very hard to rearrange their own schedule to be able to have their sleep study. IT department was requesting a scheduled outage on the same day the appointment was scheduled. Christy respectfully refused and said no to the schedule outage. She advocated for the patient even though this patient had no idea she had. Due to Christy advocating for her patient, IT changed their scheduled downtime to another day. She was like a brick wall with tons of steel and rebar to reinforce her stance!!! I am very proud that she stood her ground. This is what NLHD does for their patients, this is a great example of iCARE!!!
