Congratulations to our 2024 4Q Starfish Award Honoree, Evelyn Prude! Evelyn works in PA Assoc II/Scheduling here at Riverside.

The Starfish Award recognizes team members who fill vital roles outside of nursing. These “difference makers” provide direct and indirect services to Riverside patients and the community.

Her nomination read: “This morning a patient had made calls all over pleading for help. He left messages on my voicemail and also that of the Cancer Treatment Center. It was very early and they were not listened to until after the fact. I’m not sure how Evelyn Prude got the patient on the phone but she found herself connected to him. He was scheduled for a CT Bone Marrow Biopsy today. While speaking with him she recognized he was not doing well. She called 911 and stayed on the phone with him until the ambulance arrived to his house. I’m not sure the outcome except that the patient is currently in the ER.
Evelyn went out of her way to make sure one of our patients was taken care of and safe. I just feel she should be recognized for going above and beyond. I’m thankful for coworkers like Evelyn.”
