It&#8217;s a compassionate, gentle gesture that comforts and reassures patients.<\/p>\n<p>Those who work alongside Rochester in the operating room know that before any procedure, Rochester comforts her patient.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a very kind and caring gesture,&#8221; said Melinda Molina, OR specialty coordinator for perioperative services at UCHealth in northern Colorado. \u201cI am guessing it\u2019s often remembered despite the drugs our patients are on just before induction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a personal touch that would make her \u201cmamma proud,\u201d Rochester said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a patient needs a hand, I let them hold it. If they need a hug, I offer a hug. If they need prayer, I pray,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s really about realizing that people need medicine, they need surgery, and they need to be comforted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holding the hand of her patient has been rooted in Rochester\u2019s routine since her days in residency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had a great attending physician who was an amazing surgeon, but not a great person. His patients never knew if he scrubbed in or was there or not,&#8221; Rochester said.<\/p>\n<p>A keen observer, Rochester knew that lack of human connection could make patients anxious or feel more vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>So, as simple as it is, Rochester begins each surgery with a warm gesture, holding a hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s about me letting my patients know I&#8217;m there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Providing human connection of comfort and kindness The first thing that Dr. Natalie Rochester, a skilled obstetrician-gynecologist in northern Colorado, does before patients before go under anesthesia in the operating room is show kindness.
