For Paula Stirewalt, a patient care assistant, each one is more than a name on a schedule. She makes it a point to know each of them.<\/p>\n<p>Stirewalt knows which patients like coffee, who enjoys a blanket or pillow, which snack someone prefers and the names of family members. For patients who return multiple days a week or over many months, these small details become part of a bigger relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t get a tremendous amount of time with the patients, so I try to make the most of the time that I do have,\u201d Stirewalt said. \u201cSometimes it\u2019s 10 minutes, five days a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One patient particularly loved the clinic\u2019s white cheddar popcorn. When the snack ran out, Stirewalt went to the cafeteria and bought a couple of bags with her own money so the patient could still enjoy a favorite snack during their treatment.<\/p>\n<p>For Stirewalt, making long days in oncology a little more comfortable, familiar and welcoming is just part of the job.<\/p>\n<p>Her care extends to her colleagues, too. Each time Stirewalt brings a patient from the lobby to an infusion chair, she makes sure the nurse knows exactly where the patient is waiting through a little letter of encouragement.<\/p>\n<p>On a bright sticky note, she might write, \u201cYour patient is anxiously awaiting your excellent nursing care in bay two. You are amazing.\u201d She leaves the notes throughout the day, every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a way to talk to my colleagues without talking to them,\u201d Stirewalt said.<\/p>\n<p>Her coworkers saved the notes and eventually returned them to her, writing notes of their own to show how much the encouragement means to them.<\/p>\n<p>It is a simple interaction, but Stirewalt\u2019s gift is making people feel seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever I can do to make everyone\u2019s life better, it is a pleasure,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>In a clinic where the days can be long and difficult, Stirewalt brings something patients and coworkers can count on. She offers a familiar face, a personal touch and a reminder that they matter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><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\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><b data-ogsc=\"\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\">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.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><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><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making every patient feel known The UCHealth Cancer Care and Hematology Clinic at Greeley Medical Center sees up to 70 infusion patients a day.
