High school students visit campus
In the past few weeks, we hosted health sciences students from Scott Regional Tech Center in Monett and Gibson Tech in Reeds Spring! It’s been awesome to meet so many aspiring health care professionals with big goals on their minds.
Students visited our radiography labs, participated in activities with the OT department, and took in the newly renovated simulation center!
Daisy Award
Robert Kinney, Cox College alumni, was a recipient of CoxHealth’s Daisy Award for going above and beyond to help patients! Robert is an RN in the emergency department at Cox North and was nominated by a colleague for his work in providing resources to a non-English-speaking, homeless patient.
From CoxHealth:
“We worked all day trying to get the patient someplace to go… Rob is fluent in Spanish and was able to communicate with this patient. He took care of this patient all night and then stayed late to help me continue calling to look for someone to help this man out.”
“After running into dead end after dead end, Rob decided to take this patient to church with him and see if this church would help. Rob said, ‘Jesus won’t let me send him to the street.’”
“Rob is such an exceptional human and the absolute best nurse I have ever worked with. Rob could have just discharged this man with a list of shelters and let him figure it out on his own, but instead, he chose to help this man. This is only one small example of how Rob goes above and beyond in his job duties and is just a good person.”
Congratulations, Robert!
