July 2026 LEAF Award Recipient

Gladys Doherty, CNA, Med/Surg (4th Floor Citrus Tower)

Gladys Doherty, CNA, Med/Surg (4th Floor Citrus Tower)

LEAF Award – July 2026

Gladys has been a valuable member of the San Antonio team since joining the Medical/Surgical unit night shift in 1999.  Her smile and can-do attitude is contagious and she provides every patient with the care and compassion we would all hope to receive.   Those qualities were recently recognized by a patient who wrote:  “From the moment I arrived, Gladys treated me with dignity, patience, and genuine concern for my well-being.  What stood out the most was the way she cared for me as a whole person. She brushed my teeth, washed my face, and attended to my needs with the same tenderness and attentiveness that a mother would provide.  I found myself calling for Ms. Gladys when I felt lonely because her presence was so comforting, gentle, and reassuring.  Ms. Gladys exemplifies what compassionate healthcare should look like. She made a profound impact on my recovery.”   Congratulations, Gladys!
