Beth Behm, RN, with Memorial Care in Petersburg, is the Memorial Health Ambulatory Colleague of the Month for December.
A grateful patient nominated Behm for compassionate care and follow-up attention around Christmas last year when she had a medical issue that required a visit to the Emergency Department and a hospital stay. After discharge, late Dec. 23, 2023, the patient suffered an allergic reaction to an antibiotic. She reached out to Behm after hours.
“She listened to my problem and then just went to bat trying to help me,” the nominator wrote. “I will never be able to thank her enough for her kind and caring attitude and getting me to the correct person who could figure out what to do. I feel like she was a Christmas angel that day.”
Behm has worked for Memorial Health since 1991.
