Mission Hospital Foundation RN Receives Vision Award

Each year Mission Hospital Foundation selects an individual who upholds the organization’s mission and vision with the highest distinction. We present this individual with the prestigious Sister Martha Ann Fitzpatrick Vision Award. This year’s recipient is Pat Atallah, RN.

A dedicated nurse, Pat joined the Mission Hospital family in 1999 as director of Care Management. After 20 years in that role, Pat attempted to retire, but soon returned to the hospital as a benefactor liaison RN, a vital role on the foundation team.

The Vision Award is named for Sister Martha Ann Fitzpatrick, vice president, Advocacy and Ministry Formation at Mission Hospital. This prestigious award was established in 1993 to celebrate an individual who lives the core values of Mission Hospital (Compassion, Dignity, Justice, Excellence and Integrity) and works to bring people together to foster a shared responsibility for the quality of life in our community.

Pat has touched so many lives through her compassionate care, warm and vibrant personality and devotion to others. She is consistently described as an angel who lovingly guides patient and their families through health concerns and tragedies. We are all blessed by Pat’s remarkable Spirit of Giving.
