Jessica Dolan<br />

is a Frequent Spirit Card Recipient<br />

Spirit Card recipients are recognized in each Mediscoop<br />

issue and there are some associates whose names appear<br />

time and again. Readers might wonder, ‘Why?’ does this<br />

associate receive so much recognition? This feature article<br />

will help you understand the answer. This issue turns the<br />

spotlight on Jessica Dolan, a discharge planner in Social<br />

Services at <strong>St</strong>. Catherine Labouré Manor. Jessica has<br />

received Spirit Cards three out of the last four months.<br />

SCLM Assistant Administrator Teresa Butts says,<br />

“Jessica is sensitive to the individual needs of the residents<br />

and family members she serves. She utilizes their strengths<br />

to form a discharge plan that is safe, meets their needs<br />

and encourages ongoing independence. She is respectful<br />

of their wishes and engages them in the decision making<br />

process which leads to patient empowerment.”<br />

Initially, Jessica thought she was headed into a different<br />

field of medicine but after hearing speeches on other<br />

disciplines as an undergraduate, she began to consider the<br />

field of social work. “This field matches my desire to help<br />

people,” said Jessica.<br />

As a discharge planner, Jessica works with the short term<br />

rehab population, primarily orthopedic patients. “Just<br />

smiling and greeting patients helps them feel welcome,”<br />

Jessica said. “I truly enjoy making a difference.”<br />

“We have a great interdisciplinary team that includes<br />

Nursing, Therapy, Dietary, Activities and Social Work,”<br />

said Jessica whose co-workers think she’s pretty special<br />

too. They recognize her frequently with Spirit Cards!<br />

Thank you, Jessica, for sharing your kind spirit with your<br />

patients and co-workers – you DO make a difference in<br />

their lives.<br />
