Nominated by Sharee Pounds |
Joy is an outstanding member of our team at Duke Primary Care Pickett Road. She works as a triage nurse and in the INR clinic but that does little justice to the many hats she wears. Joy is a hardworking, compassionate and intelligent nurse who goes beyond the standard work requirements to provide exceptional patient care. She can be found in all positions on the floor, doing vaccine clinics, triaging patient appointments, performing blood pressure checks, ordering medicines, and so much more. Whenever I have the pleasure to witness her in action, she takes every moment to make patients feel comfortable and safe. Whether she is cracking a joke to ease the mood or having a heart to heart with one of her patients, Joy is genuinely determined to provide support to others. Whenever urgent needs arise, Joy is one of the first on the scene. Most recently, one of our patients disclosed mental health issues in a message on Duke Mychart. This was a time-sensitive concern and Joy took initiative to call this patient to make sure they got the care and support they needed. She also made sure to follow-up the next day to check in on this patient.
Joy has been a wonderful patient advocate. She knows the community, the family members and is often catching up with patients. She is a wonderful member of our team.
