Mary’s favorite patient encounter/memory: “I have lots of great patient memories, but probably my favorite involved a young lady with disabilities. Not able to communicate much verbally, she wasn’t very engaged with her surroundings until I placed her first pair of glasses on her face. With the glasses on and really seeing crisply for the first time, she immediately noticed her mom, smiled and reached out to touch her mom’s face. Her mom and I were both crying because it was so life-changing for the young lady. It was the moment when I saw the power of sight and the beauty of that moment is forever etched in my mind.”
