Messages from the Gratitude Tree

At Parnassus, we painted a canvas for people to leave words of thanks to the many members of our radiology team. These are a few of the wonderful words left on our Gratitude Tree.
David Poon, Chair of the UCSF Health Imaging Recognition Committee

As the end of the year approaches, we like to take a deep breath of the chill air and think of all the things we are thankful for here at UCSF. At Parnassus, the Health Imaging Recognition Committee painted a canvas for people to leave words of gratitude to the many members of our radiology team. These are a few of the wonderful words growing on our Gratitude Tree.

Think about who you are grateful to, and maybe a new leaf will sprout!

I’ve been working with Giuliana R. for the last 2 years and this recognition is way overdue. She is amazing at what she does and goes above and beyond to schedule patients with our pediatric IR docs. We had a small hiccup with our schedule and she was lighting fast in communicating with the patient and I, leaving the patient satisfied. Giuliana has a great demeanor with the patient and I can’t thank enough. You are amazing. Gold star to you!
