Congratulations to Caitlin Beck, who earned the Living the Mission Award! Caitlin works as a nurse in the Cardiothoracic Care Unit at Kettering Health Main Campus.

The Living the Mission Award is given to people who bring Kettering Health’s mission to life, demonstrating the sacred work of improving the quality of life for people in the communities we serve. They use their own time and resources to transform lives, whether that’s in one of our facilities or out in the community.

Keep reading to see Caitlin’s nomination story:

“Caitlin is such an exceptional nurse. She goes way above & beyond for her patients and their families each & every day. For example, she had a patient that wasn’t doing well. When her husband finally decided to leave the room to grab lunch, the cafeteria was closing. When he came back up, he had told her what happened. He made the comment, ‘I guess I just won’t eat today.’ Caitlin went to the break room and fixed him a plate of pizza and some snacks, so he didn’t have to leave his wife’s side during a difficult day. The care that Caitlin provides every single day impacts not only the patients but also their families.”
