For Dwann Watson, a patient transporter known for his warmth and quiet generosity, that compassion is second nature.<\/p>\n<p>It was a recent routine moment at the pharmacy that revealed something extraordinary. Nurse Manager Melissa Bauer found herself in line behind Watson as he waited with a patient preparing for discharge. As they chatted about the patient\u2019s return home, the mood shifted when the cost of the necessary medication was revealed \u2014 and it was more than the patient could afford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe patient seemed a little embarrassed,\u201d Bauer said. \u201cShe was digging through her bags, clearly flustered, and trying to figure out how she could pay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without hesitation, Watson stepped forward and scanned his employee ID badge to pay for the prescription.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy to do this for you,\u201d he told the patient. \u201cThis is what I would do for my family, and you need your medicine to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gesture struck Bauer deeply. \u201cIt warmed my heart to know that I work in a facility with amazing people like Dwann. If this isn\u2019t improving lives, I don\u2019t know what is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Watson, compassion and kindness is something he learned early.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom is a nurse, and she was always going out of her way to help others,\u201d he said. \u201cShe raised us to volunteer at a young age and always give back. That\u2019s always stuck with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watson\u2019s commitment to others extends beyond his day-to-day duties. He\u2019s currently pursuing a master\u2019s degree in social work at the University of Colorado \u2013 Colorado Springs, with a goal of advancing social justice and supporting underserved communities.<\/p>\n<p>His dedication hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDwann is an outstanding employee who consistently puts the patient&#8217;s needs and comfort first,\u201d said Kurtis Pittman, manager of transport services at MHC. \u201cHe truly cares about every interaction and treats every patient with respect, compassion and professionalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watson doesn\u2019t stop at one role. In addition to working full-time in patient transport, he picks up shifts as a radiology assistant in the CT department \u2014 another example of his drive to serve where he\u2019s needed most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis willingness to go above and beyond in both roles speaks volumes about his dedication to our mission,\u201d Pittman said. \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly lucky to have him as part of our team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Watson, it&#8217;s simple. \u201cHelping people just feels right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><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\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><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>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A simple gesture with a profound impact At UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central, patients and staff alike are reminded daily of what compassion looks like in action.
