“Mike will drop everything, no matter how busy he is, to help someone else. He always greets people in passing, asks how their day is, and generally offers help of some kind. Mike always has a smile on his face. He helps wherever he can and goes the extra mile to ensure that our patients and staff feel safe and heard. His holidays are often spent at the hospital, visiting patients, when he could be at home with family instead. Mike goes above and beyond not only for patients, but for his fellow staff members. He goes to different departments to check on patients and staff members. Mike tries to make sure all staff members have eaten for the day, and if they haven’t been able to eat or drink, he will get them something. May we all aspire to be ‘Like Mike'”.
