“If it wasn’t for Nancy, I wouldn’t be standing here,” says Doreen Klotz, a Florida customer service associate who nominated her teammate, pharmacist Nancy Klein, for an Act of Heroism award in our internal recognition program. After Klotz was discharged from the ER following a health scare on a work trip, she stopped answering calls and texts. Filled with concern, Klein followed her instincts and went to Klotz’s hotel, called for a welfare check and ultimately saved her life. “Here’s my coworker and my friend, and I just want to help her,” says Klein, describing what was going through her head during the ordeal. 🎥 Watch the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gStmhdNi Tag a colleague you’re thankful for in the comments below. #Thankful #Heroism #Recognition #WorkFriends #Walgreens
