Kindness and Compassion in Action

While doing rounds outside, Mark, CNRV Officer encountered two dogs, to find out later was 7 miles from home. He provided them with water and food and attempted to contact the owner using the information from their collars. After 2 hours, he spoke with the owner, who was willing to come to the hospital to get his dogs. Mark placed the dogs into the vehicle in the air condition. While waiting for the owner, he noticed in the parking lot a woman on the ground near her car. After observing, he realized she had fallen. He then spoke with the patient. Mark contacted the inside staff to ensure the woman received the necessary care in the ED. His kindness and dedication extended not only to humans but also to the pets and their owners. The patient received treatment, and the dogs was safely returned to their owner. We extend our sincere gratitude to Mark for his compassionate service and going above and beyond.
