Rumi says he likes to find different ways of caring for people and that sometimes it “takes a bit of creativity”.
He’s an advocate of the healing powers of being outdoors and takes patients to a meadow and orchard where they can experience nature and learn about apples — which are pressed into juice and sold in the hospital café.
His nomination said:
“Rumi is a man who quietly and consistently demonstrates the values we hold of being caring, safe and excellent at what he does and being completely patient focused and always looking to improve and enhance patient experience through access to green space.”
