On #NationalThoughtfulDay, we’re celebrating someone who embodies thoughtfulness every single day. Everyone knows Edith Gray – whether for her excellence in the classroom, her magnetic personality, or the many mantras she’s known to say. For more than 30 years, these unforgettable sayings have made her a legend.

It’s often the smallest acts of kindness that leave the biggest mark. When Brandon Lopez, PA-C, discovered that his elderly patient had no one to help install their air conditioners during a dangerous heat wave, he didn’t think twice. After treating the 90-year-old for heat stroke, Brandon personally drove to their home and set up the units himself. Because sometimes, the most meaningful care happens outside the hospital walls. ❤️
