GREECE, N.Y. — Rochester Regional Health honored employees who served in the U.S. military at Unity Hospital on Wednesday.
Team members, volunteers and veterans gathered for the event, which also highlighted the health system’s Veteran Team Member Resource Group and a program that recognizes veterans receiving care at the hospital.
We asked Lisa Larkins, a volunteer at Unity, about what Veterans Day means to her, “My father was a Korean War veteran, and felt he didn’t get a proper welcome home. He was a medic, he deserved that proper welcome home. So, for me to be able to thank a veteran, tell them there service mattered, right? Especially in a hospital setting when they’re probably not having the best day.”
Additionally, we talked with Levi Gangi, performance improvement coordinator for Behavior Health, about how a sense of community impacts veterans, “Just that acknowledgment. You know, a lot of times people know that you’re not gonna maybe solve their problem or you know, do something huge for them, but just acknowledging and listening to their stories. So, taking time to listen to a story, whether it’s a team member here at Rochester Regional, or a patient that we have, just allowing them to tell their story, and someone who’s being heard, and someone who wants to listen can really make a difference in their stay.”
Through its Veteran Flag Program, volunteers present hospitalized veterans with a small American flag, a commemorative pin and a certificate of appreciation in recognition of their service.
