She knows the toll an ICU stay can have on patients and their family members. It can feel overwhelmingly draining \u2013 physically, emotionally and mentally. Harris\u2019 goal is to make patients and family members feel as comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen your family member is going through something, people don\u2019t realize that [family members] are going through something too,\u201d Harris said. \u201cIf we can make you comfortable, then I\u2019ll just go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s providing warm blankets or offering water, ice chips, hot tea or coffee, Harris keeps patients and family members top of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Harris said her mom taught her the golden rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated. That principle stuck with Harris and is something she exudes every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try to make everybody feel as comfortable as I can,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining UCHealth in 2018, Harris worked in home health care for 30 years. She bonded with her patients during their grocery store outings and doctors\u2019 visits. Harris would often sit with them, listening to their stories. Wanting to try something different, she made a career change and joined UCHealth, offering that same care and compassion.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019 kindness is matched by her work ethic, staying busy to ensure a cleanly environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Renay has been working this unit, the infection rate has dropped,\u201d said Charlie Twiggs, environmental services director at UCHealth Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does Harris build meaningful relationships with patients and their families, she connects with colleagues too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne reason I like coming to work is because the nurses up there [in the ICU] are fantastic,\u201d Harris said. \u201cThey\u2019re great. All of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That respect and admiration for her colleagues is mutual. Walking the halls at Memorial Hospital Central, it\u2019s clear that Harris is well known and appreciated. She is frequently greeted by her coworkers, and always reciprocates a friendly \u201chello\u2019\u2019 and \u201cHow are you?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Providing comfort and kindness with warm blankets Renay Harris noticed a family member sitting quietly in the ICU and thoughtfully asked, \u201cWould you like a warm blanket?\u201d \u201cYou would do that for me?\u201d exclaimed a family member visiting their loved one at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central.
