“A minute to me is when you see the patient come in, get better and go home, and it makes the family happy. That’s a minute to me.”

– Bernice Gilmore, Housekeeper, Arch Plaza

– Patricia Diaz, RN, University Hospital

“A minute can mean the difference between life and death in a cardiac unit. In a stroke unit, it can mean the difference between a brain and brain damage. A minute can also mean the difference in that patient being in bed or being on the floor.”

– Leora Stirrat, Unit Secretary, Blake Medical Center

“A minute to me is priceless. A minute to me is listening to the sound of the alarms when a resident gets up to prevent them from falling. A minute to me is to walk with a resident so that resident will be able to improve their walking…so a minute to me really goes a far way.”

– Doreen Holm, CNA, Avanté at Lake Worth
