Meet Bodhi Stevens, a brave pediatric patient at Vassar Brothers Medical Center with a big performance ahead. 🎹 While in our care, Bodhi told one of our nurses he had an upcoming piano concert and was worried about missing practice time. That’s all our team needed to hear—they immediately put out a call across the hospital to find a keyboard. And they did! Because of their compassion and teamwork, Bodhi was able to keep practicing right from his hospital room. 💙 Moments like this are a beautiful reminder of what happens when care goes beyond medicine. #PediatricCare #CompassionateCare #PatientStories #RaiseHealth (fb)
