This #TeamMemberTuesday, we recognize Raquel Knibb, imaging intake coordinator at AdventHealth Winter Garden, who was recently honored as the hospital’s Hero of the Year. Raquel consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our patients have a positive experience. Noticing it was a patient's birthday and that he was sitting alone in the imaging lobby, Raquel visited the gift shop to purchase a birthday card and had other team members sign it as well to lift his spirits during a difficult time. Thank you, Raquel, for all that you do for our patients.
