Irma Brunson Named January Health Hero
January 31st, 2010 by DMH
At Drew Memorial, a gentleman and his wife typically have their labwork done at the same time each month, but the husband came by himself earlier this week. Irma Brunson, one of our phlebotomists, asked the gentleman why his wife was not with him. He told Irma that his wife was sick and could not make it in to have the lab done. Irma asked the husband where they lived and he replied “ in Wilmar”.
Irma had asked earlier if she could take off for a couple of hours at lunchtime to attend a meeting in Warren. After her meeting was over, Irma stopped in Wilmar at the patients house tu draw her blood so she could have her labwork done on time and did not have to get out while she was ill.
Irma cared enough about the patient to notice that his wife was not with him, and stopped and drew the patients blood on her own time without being prompted to do so.
That is why Irma Brunson has been named as the DMH Health Hero for January 2010
