Not All Heroes Wear Capes

On May 26, 2022, Justin Rockwell, MSW showed what it really means to be a social worker. He went above and beyond his job duties and showed tremendous compassion for a terminally ill incarcerated patient and his family. Justin spent hours searching for family members of the patient and then worked diligently and professionally with the Virginia Department of Corrections to advocate for the ability for the family members to visit with the patient. As a new hire at Carilion Clinic, Justin showed me, through his actions, what the Patient Experience is all about.
