Wendy Paszkowski, a housekeeper here for nearly 24 years, went above and beyond the call of duty recently. Her keen observations and quick action helped save a patient’s life.

Anne Niziolek, the nurse manager of Medicine 4, recently shared the story in the hospital newsletter:

“Our unit housekeeper on Med. 4, Wendy Paszkowski, was cleaning a patient’s room. She noticed there was something wrong with the patient and immediately went to get the nurse, who was in another patient’s room. It turned out the patient Wendy observed had blood sugar that was critically low. The patient could have gone in a diabetic coma or worse. Wendy took the appropriate action and knew to “ARCC it up!” She saved the patient!  Way to go, Wendy!”
