When Cath Lab staffers realized patient Joseph Whitesell was coming in alone for a procedure on his 95th birthday, they rallied and surprised him with a bedside birthday party, complete with gifts, a cake and balloons.
What a wonderful gesture on the part of the staffers. Their actions bespeak not only their dedication to patient-centered care, but a level of warmth and human kindness that graces Cooper University Hospital and inspires us all.
