Scripps employee and former TV news anchor Susan Taylor had a life-changing experience when her father, Robert, needed open-heart surgery. During his extended hospital stay, the family witnessed an extraordinary level of care that was delivered to every patient, every day.
“After walking the halls at all hours, I came to realize that everyone who enters those doors gets treated the same way: with a smile, a hug and a profound sensitivity to the patient and their family,” says Susan.
The experience moved Susan to leave her TV career and join Scripps Health, and prompted her family to show their gratitude by donating to Scripps and helping others.
