Affiliated with the hospital since 2020, Dr. Rao was recognized for her compassion and extraordinary efforts to go above and beyond her duties when she visited a patient’s worried family members to discuss the patient’s care.

Dr. Ogriki, who has been affiliated with the hospital for two years, was also recognized for her compassionate and high quality care when she took time out of her busy schedule to sit with and assist a gravely ill patient before the patient’s transfer to hospice care.
