Good Samaritan’s Alisa Kim, MD, and Taylor Keener were recently honored through the Good Samaritan Foundation Grateful Patient Program for exemplifying both the SERVE values and TriHealth Way.

Along with gifts, the grateful patient, Brittney Burkhead, wrote these words of thanks:
“Dr. Alisa Kim made the initial call that saved our little girl’s life. She stood her ground about admitting me when I really wanted to go home, days later leading to the 1:15 a.m. emergency c-section that brought our daughter Callie out into the world.”

“Nurse Taylor Keener in the AOC saved our little girl’s life. Her fast action and diligence lead to the 1:15 a.m. emergency c-section that brought our daughter Callie out into the world. She brought laughter and peace to my stay on the AOC. She is the best!”
