• 19:53Doctor billingslea.
• 19:56Thank you very much Kathleen and Painless,
• 19:59and most of all I would like to extend
• 20:01my gratitude to the individuals
• 20:04and the teams who have made such an
• 20:07enormous difference for our patients
• 20:09in these past weeks in months.
• 20:12You know it. It's difficult to
• 20:15capture in an event like this.
• 20:17What impact all of you have on patients
• 20:21and families on a day to day basis?
• 20:25I know that I might as well as other

• 20:32your dedication, your commitment,
• 20:34your persistence,
• 20:34and your compassion and your humanity.
• 20:38And it is the the.
• 20:41The best that you bring of
• 20:45yourselves everyday.
• 20:46That is, is so meaningful,
• 20:48and often I reflect on the
• 20:51fact that our teams.
• 20:53Make impact in small ways
• 20:56that often go unnoticed,
• 20:58but it is those small extra efforts.
• 21:02That make an extraordinary difference.
• 21:05It set small extra effort that the
• 21:08nurse makes at the bedside to check or
• 21:10double check the rate of the infusion pump.
• 21:13It is that extra time it takes
• 21:15to get a blanket or ice.
• 21:18Or that little,
• 21:19let little gesture that makes a
• 21:22difference for a patient who is
• 21:24in the hospital alone without
• 21:26contact with their family.
• 21:28And it's all of these small
• 21:30things that come together. 2.
• 21:32Create an outstanding experience
• 21:34and move our field forward.
