LEONARDTOWN, Md. – Join us in congratulating associates Gary P. and Teresa W., our December Award winners! Gary and Teresa were nominated for going above and beyond for our patients and demonstrating the MedStar Health values. Read more about each of these associates below.ย 

โ€œWhile Gary always demonstrates extraordinary teamwork as a nurse, he recently went above and beyond to help two colleagues caring for a patient who was being verbally abusive. Remaining calm and respectful, Gary was able to meet the patientโ€™s needs while deescalating the situation. Gary treats everyone with professionalism and dignity. His positive attitude and outlook uplift others. He is a true role model!โ€

โ€œTeresa recently received special letters from a patientโ€™s family expressing their gratitude for her support as a nurse case manager. The patientโ€™s caretaker shared, โ€˜I cannot say enough about Hospice and the wonderful care given to us during this most difficult time in our lives. โ€ฆ I would especially like to thank Teresa for her love, compassion, and encouragement as we traveled this journey together. She prepared us in ways that only she could do.โ€™โ€
