Congratulations to Pottstown Hospital's recent Certificate of Excellence Winner, Jaden Taylor, PA-C - Hospitalist. Jaden was nominated by the Chief Medical Officer: Jaden played a critically important role in providing compassionate care to a very sick patient. This patient was unfortunately unable to make decisions on his own, and his medical team had difficulty contacting any decision-makers to determine care goals for him. The patient’s care team tried multiple times during the patient’s hospital stay to find a family member that would make decisions on his behalf. Jaden was finally able to get in contact a family member who was willing to consider being a decision-maker. During a long conversation with the family member, she explained the patient’s medical state and prognosis and was able to help them arrive at a decision to transition the patient to hospice care. Thank you, Jaden, for your teamwork and commitment to compassionate care. #Pottstown #PottstownHospital #CertificateofExcellence #Hospitalist
