Sherea Covington-Adams, Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
CARE Champion, September 2007
CARE Activity: As Director of ICU, Sherea Covington-Adams has a tremendous amount of responsibilities to deal with on a daily basis. Needless to say, one particular day, Sherea went out of her way to help a visitor who was waiting on her husband to be discharged from our hospital to another facility.

The visitor, who was morbidly obese and not able to walk to the restroom, was wetting herself, which resulted in a strong odor in the unit and patient waiting room areas. To control the situation in a dignified manner, Sherea explained to the lady that she could assist her with a shower, diapers and a change of clean clothes. The lady agreed to the offer and Sherea went and purchased a shirt, pair of pants and other sanitary items.

After the lady had a shower and changed into fresh clothing, Sherea sat down with her and gave her information about local agencies in the area that could assist her with various needs. Thanks to Sherea’s caring heart, the lady was able to continue to visit with her husband and obtain information that will help her in the future.
