› Reclaimed Hope Through ONE Health Bud Tunstall has improved his health and regained his excitement for living thanks to our complex care team. As a case manager with the ONE Health complex care program, Maggie Gafa, RN takes health care beyond the doctor’s offi ce. If a patient has nowhere to go after leaving the hospital, she fi nds them a safe place to live. If they have no way to get to doctor appointments, she arranges a ride share. If they’re hungry or need clothes, Maggie is there with a box of food and clean shirts. Maggie gave Bud Tunstall all of those things and more: the chance to feel excited and hopeful about life. “The good Lord has blessed me. I can’t ask to be more blessed than I am by this hospital,” Bud said. “I can talk to Miss Maggie about anything. I told her I needed shirts, and she went out and got me brand new shirts. That’s Miss Maggie for you. She’s always here for me.” Born and raised in Memphis, Bud was diagnosed with epilepsy as a child. Seizures made it hard to work, but life was looking up in the early 1990s when he moved to “She’s always here for me. I realized the Lord has kept me here for a reason.” 10 Gratitude Repor t 2023
