♪ [music] ♪

Our cancer care team is made up of certified oncology
nurses and this is important because it validates that

we are specialized in our area and that we are more
equipped with being able to take caution and recognize

problems and concerns that can occur along the way,
so we can act promptly upon them to help promote

better patient outcomes.

The Paint the Town Paint Pink Foundation
and the Baptist Health Richmond Foundation

have provided amenities for our patients, such as warm
blankets from our warm blanket machine, as well

as heated recliners for our patients that they can use
as they're getting their treatment.

We also have help from our community, too,
that has been very engaged in our team here

at Baptist Health.

We have a dog named Abby, it's our therapy dog.

She comes and visits our patients.

We also have gifts from the homemakers in our community
such as beautiful lap quilts and blankets that we can

give to our patients, as well as other comfort items,
such as toboggans that they have made

for the winter time.

I went to nursing to help patients and just be able to
be there for them during a very difficult part

in their life, to touch them in any way that I can,
just to provide them comfort, support.

And, at Baptist Health regimen,
you're going to get that from all of our staff.

Taking care of our patients is our top priority,
and providing them the best care that they can possibly

receive to help them get through this very difficult
time in their lives.
