Nominated by Kimberly Jimenez | PPC Manager

I want to nominate Trisha Alvarado for exceptional care because she has gone above and beyond for a patient here at Nor Lea. Trisha has been working for weeks to help a patient that became unexpectedly homeless. Trisha set the patient up with financial counseling and assisted the patient in contacting several community outreach organizations to set up hotel stays for a safe place at night, churches during the day, as well as trying to find people to assist with food. Trisha came to me after several weeks of trying to assist the patient and asked if she could organize for the patient to use a phone while here at Nor Lea for one of many appointments to help the patient call to get her disability reinstated. Trish also has tried to help locate a more long-term shelter for the patient but ran into a roadblock due to the shelter being in Hobbs and the patient not having transportation to get back to Lovington to make all her of Doctor’s appointment. Trish has shown genuine concern for this patient’s wellbeing, and I feel so proud to have her on our team.
