It was a beautiful but hot day at the ballpark on Sunday, Aug. 9, when four Sparrow Caregivers were recognized for going above and beyond.
Nominated by their fellow Caregivers because they possess qualities that embody the mission, vision, and values of Sparrow, Kelly Evans, Angelo Librizzi, Barbara Wells, and Bhagya Venkatesh, M.D. were introduced to the crowd from center field, received Sparrow swag bags, and enjoyed the game with their families in a suite hosted by Sparrow Health System.

Her commitment to PHP and the customer service staff is second to none. She is creative, compassionate, accountable, and inspires her coworkers to achieve more.
