David Spencer, Jefe del Equipo de Transporte Centralizado, supervisa un departamento con 23 empleados en Hospital St. Luke<\/a>. Dice que \"naci\u00f3 y se cri\u00f3 en New Bedford, vivi\u00f3 una vida dura y le dio la vuelta\", gracias en parte a su carrera en el hospital donde naci\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Se podr\u00eda decir que me form\u00e9 aqu\u00ed\", dice David, que lleva m\u00e1s de 22 a\u00f1os trabajando en St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De cuidador de observaci\u00f3n de seguridad a asistente terap\u00e9utico y, por \u00faltimo, a t\u00e9cnico de salud mental, David es conocido por su fiabilidad, entusiasmo, paciencia y humanidad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He adquirido toneladas de gran experiencia que la mayor\u00eda de la gente no llega a tener\" en un trabajo que describi\u00f3 como \"lleno de suspense y acontecimientos\". El trabajo, junto con su fe religiosa, le ense\u00f1\u00f3 a tratar a todo el mundo, independientemente de las circunstancias, \"con m\u00e1s compasi\u00f3n\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hace un a\u00f1o fue ascendido a Jefe del Equipo de Transporte Centralizado, que traslada a los pacientes por el hospital para realizarles pruebas y recibir tratamiento, un trabajo que dice que le gusta \"porque siempre he trabajado para ayudar a la gente\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como persona de color, David habla con orgullo de St. Luke's y Southcoast Health, de los que dice que est\u00e1n plenamente comprometidos a ofrecer la mejor atenci\u00f3n a todos, independientemente de su raza, etnia o clase econ\u00f3mica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Southcoast se preocupa mucho por la comunidad e intenta hacer lo correcto. Tratan bien a la gente y no siempre es f\u00e1cil\", afirm\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde actividades de divulgaci\u00f3n comunitaria para ayudar a las minor\u00edas hasta \"peque\u00f1os actos de amabilidad\", como que el personal hable criollo o portugu\u00e9s a pacientes preocupados y a sus familiares, pasando por carteles de bienvenida repartidos por todo el hospital, Southcoast Health \"se preocupa por nuestra comunidad y por todos los que la componen\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mes de la Historia Negra<\/a>que se celebra cada febrero, es para \u00e9l un momento de reflexi\u00f3n. \"La historia de Estados Unidos es la historia de los negros. Nosotros construimos este pa\u00eds\", afirma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David tambi\u00e9n forma parte del Consejo de Diversidad, Equidad e Inclusi\u00f3n del hospital para ayudar a garantizar que tanto los empleados como los pacientes de color puedan contar con la mejor atenci\u00f3n de una instituci\u00f3n acogedora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"El hecho de que exista nuestro consejo te dice que Southcoast Health se preocupa de verdad por esto\", dijo. \"Por eso me he quedado en el hospital, porque se trata de ayudar a la gente\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tambi\u00e9n trabaja con un grupo m\u00e1s reducido de empleados en un grupo de recursos llamado Black Lives Matter Coalition dentro de la Consejo DE&I<\/a>. Surgi\u00f3 a ra\u00edz del asesinato de George Floyd, afroamericano, a manos de un agente de polic\u00eda de Minneapolis en 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"La muerte de George Floyd impuls\u00f3 a la gente a actuar\", afirm\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este trabajo ayuda a garantizar que cada empleado reciba un trato justo y que todos los habitantes de New Bedford tengan acceso a la misma excelente atenci\u00f3n sanitaria que ofrece el hospital. \"Las cosas tienen que cambiar, por el bien de todos\", asiente Dave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
