For #PatientServicesAppreciationWeek2025, we recognized some SUPER associates at St. Mary's Medical Center who recently stepped up to address unique dietary needs of one of their patients. 🦸♂️ When PDA Kaznova Knowles noticed a Hebrew-speaking patient was struggling to find meals that met his kosher dietary restrictions, she shared her concerns with Rochel Freed, the Cook at St. Mary's.

This level of care and collaboration truly exemplifies Morrison's mission of a patient-centered approach and providing #MoreThanAMeal
