David Spencer, o chefe da equipa de transportes centralizados, supervisiona um departamento com 23 funcion\u00e1rios na Hospital St. Luke's<\/a>. Diz que \"nasceu e foi criado em New Bedford, teve uma vida dif\u00edcil e deu a volta por cima\", gra\u00e7as, em parte, \u00e0 sua carreira no hospital onde nasceu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pode dizer-se que comecei a trabalhar aqui\", disse David, que trabalha no St. Luke's h\u00e1 mais de 22 anos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tendo evolu\u00eddo de uma \"Safety Observation Sitter\" para um Assistente Terap\u00eautico e, finalmente, para um T\u00e9cnico de Sa\u00fade Mental que presta cuidados a pacientes com necessidades de sa\u00fade mental, David \u00e9 conhecido pela sua fiabilidade, entusiasmo, paci\u00eancia e humanidade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ganhei toneladas de experi\u00eancias fant\u00e1sticas que a maioria das pessoas n\u00e3o tem\" num trabalho que descreveu como \"cheio de suspense e de acontecimentos\". O trabalho, juntamente com a sua f\u00e9 religiosa, ensinou-o a tratar toda a gente, independentemente das circunst\u00e2ncias, \"com mais compaix\u00e3o\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00e1 um ano, foi promovido a Chefe de Equipa da Equipa de Transporte Centralizado, que desloca os doentes pelo hospital para exames e tratamentos, um trabalho de que diz gostar \"porque sempre trabalhei para ajudar as pessoas\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke's e Southcoast Health, que, segundo ele, est\u00e3o totalmente empenhados em prestar os melhores cuidados a todos, independentemente da ra\u00e7a, etnia ou classe econ\u00f3mica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A Southcoast est\u00e1 realmente empenhada na comunidade e a tentar fazer o que est\u00e1 certo. Tratam bem as pessoas e nem sempre \u00e9 f\u00e1cil\", afirmou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde a sensibiliza\u00e7\u00e3o da comunidade para ajudar as popula\u00e7\u00f5es minorit\u00e1rias a \"pequenos actos de bondade\", como o facto de os funcion\u00e1rios falarem crioulo ou portugu\u00eas com doentes preocupados e respectivas fam\u00edlias, at\u00e9 aos cartazes de boas-vindas espalhados pelo hospital, a Southcoast Health \"preocupa-se com a nossa comunidade e com todos os que nela vivem\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00eas da Hist\u00f3ria Negra<\/a>celebrado todos os anos em fevereiro, \u00e9 para ele um momento de reflex\u00e3o. \"A hist\u00f3ria americana \u00e9 a hist\u00f3ria dos negros. N\u00f3s constru\u00edmos este pa\u00eds\", diz ele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David tamb\u00e9m faz parte do Conselho de Diversidade, Equidade e Inclus\u00e3o do hospital para ajudar a garantir que tanto os funcion\u00e1rios como os pacientes de cor possam contar com os melhores cuidados de uma institui\u00e7\u00e3o acolhedora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"O facto de o nosso conselho existir diz-nos que a Southcoast Health se preocupa realmente com isto\", afirmou. \"Foi por isso que fiquei no hospital, porque o objetivo \u00e9 ajudar as pessoas.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trabalha tamb\u00e9m com um grupo mais pequeno de funcion\u00e1rios num grupo de recursos chamado Black Lives Matter Coalition (Coliga\u00e7\u00e3o Vidas Negras Importam) dentro da Conselho DE&I<\/a>. Foi criada na sequ\u00eancia do assass\u00ednio de George Floyd, um afro-americano, por um agente da pol\u00edcia de Minneapolis em 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A morte de George Floyd levou as pessoas \u00e0 a\u00e7\u00e3o\", afirmou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este trabalho ajuda a garantir que cada empregado \u00e9 tratado de forma justa e que toda a gente em New Bedford tem acesso aos mesmos excelentes cuidados de sa\u00fade que o hospital presta. \"As coisas precisam de mudar, para o bem de todos n\u00f3s\", diz Dave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
