Physical Therapist Lauren Receives Extraordinary Story Honor

Physical Therapist Lauren Receives Extraordinary Story Honor

The following story was submitted by Rehabilitation Inpatient Operations Manager Michael.

“On Oct. 2, Physical Therapist Lauren was visiting the Fountain Café at North Oaks Rehabilitation Hospital and was witnessed performing a lifesaving measure on a visitor. As the visitor passed behind her, she heard him choking and turned to him to ask if he needed the Heimlich maneuver. When the visitor nodded “yes,” Lauren began the procedure and successfully expelled the object. Although she was following her basic instinct to help those in need as a health care professional, I am pretty certain she is a hero in the eyes of this visitor.

“Team members like Lauren are the reason why I consider North Oaks the best health system around. Facility improvements aside, our greatest resource is our team full of heroes.”
