September 2026 LEAF Award Recipient

Gavin-Reynard-Leaf-Winner

Gavin  Reynard - Radiology

LEAF Award – Sept 2026

Gavin has been a radiology transporter for a little over a year, consistently arriving with a positive attitude and a willingness to help.  You can always count on a huge smile and warm welcome every time Gavin walks into a room.  His nomination came from a family member whose mother was undergoing testing for cancer.  They wrote:  “Gavin demonstrated something that cannot be measured by a test, scan, or medical procedure—it was his compassion.  Cancer is a frightening journey, and my mother was overwhelmed and understandably nervous.  When Gavin came to take her for a scan, he took the time to explain what she could expect.  He spoke calmly and slowly, answered her questions, and helped prepare her.  His patience and reassurance eased her mind.  Gavin had no say in her diagnosis, treatment, or procedure.  He simply had a job to do and he chose to go the extra mile to make a scared patient feel cared for and prepared.”  Congratulations, Gavin!
