Patient Brings Bouquets to Express Thanks

Dr. J.D. Lopez accepts a special bouquet of flowers from Debbie Sexauer at the Cancer Center.

Staff at the NorthBay Cancer Center were surprised and honored recently to receive vases of flowers from Debbie Sexauer, a patient of Jonathan Lopez, M.D., NorthBay Cancer Center oncologist/hematologist. 

Sexauer had arranged to have a vase of flowers delivered to every staff member, and the occasion was her last chemo treatment. It was her way of showing thanks to all for the wonderful care and support she received, according to Bea Castro, administrative coordinator for Oncology Services. 

"Oncology staff goes that extra mile, every day for our patients, and a kind gesture like this validates to our staff that their superior patient care is noticed and appreciated," Castro said.

The photos were posted on NorthBay Healthcare's Facebook page, and the response was overwhelming. The post reached more than 4,500 people, and received more than 200 Likes, 22 Shares and 19 comments. "People like a good story with a happy ending," noted Robin Miller, social media and online specialist for NorthBay.
