00:00:06.678 --> 00:00:11.030 align:middle line:84%
JONATHAN BARTELS: Dorrie came
to my 6:00 AM meditation.

00:00:11.030 --> 00:00:13.800 align:middle line:84%
God, and we are the longest
sitting sangha, I think,

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.500 align:middle line:90%
at UVA.

00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:17.450 align:middle line:90%
It's been 10 years.

00:00:17.450 --> 00:00:19.670 align:middle line:90%
We were running our own gig.

00:00:19.670 --> 00:00:22.230 align:middle line:90%
And it's 6:00 AM.

00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:28.430 align:middle line:84%
And I used to think she's
just coming to be nice to me.

00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:31.080 align:middle line:90%
I think she's just being nice.

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:37.540 align:middle line:84%
And I realized that it
means as much to her

00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:42.750 align:middle line:84%
as it does to us to be there,
to sit, to meditate at 6:00 AM

00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:45.070 align:middle line:90%
every day.

00:00:45.070 --> 00:00:51.690 align:middle line:84%
And it's just really, really
cool because she's real.

00:00:51.690 --> 00:00:55.560 align:middle line:84%
SCOTT SYVERUD: The clinics we
did at Wise, the RAM clinics

00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.490 align:middle line:84%
were big events, 5,000 people on
the weekend getting free care.

00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:01.020 align:middle line:84%
Various leaders in
the health system

00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:02.910 align:middle line:84%
would come down to visit
their employees, who

00:01:02.910 --> 00:01:05.190 align:middle line:84%
were volunteering there,
and also show the flag,

00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:07.710 align:middle line:84%
but also be around when the
political figures were around.

00:01:07.710 --> 00:01:12.750 align:middle line:84%
So I got used to having
health system leaders show up

00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:15.840 align:middle line:84%
during the event for our brief
walk through with the governor

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:16.470 align:middle line:90%
and so forth.

00:01:16.470 --> 00:01:18.990 align:middle line:90%


00:01:18.990 --> 00:01:21.693 align:middle line:84%
Dorrie-- a prominent figure
as dean of the nursing school,

00:01:21.693 --> 00:01:22.860 align:middle line:90%
she chose a different route.

00:01:22.860 --> 00:01:25.630 align:middle line:84%
She signed up as a
volunteer with her husband,

00:01:25.630 --> 00:01:29.310 align:middle line:84%
showed up the day before, got
up at 4:00 in the morning,

00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:32.310 align:middle line:84%
worked the triage line right up
front, where hundreds of people

00:01:32.310 --> 00:01:35.000 align:middle line:84%
were lined waiting
to come to care.

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.340 align:middle line:90%
Barry worked registration.

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:40.090 align:middle line:84%
And they stayed
throughout the whole event

00:01:40.090 --> 00:01:42.630 align:middle line:84%
but worked throughout
the whole event side

00:01:42.630 --> 00:01:45.990 align:middle line:84%
by side with the nurses
and the physicians

00:01:45.990 --> 00:01:47.660 align:middle line:84%
and all the staff
that volunteered there

00:01:47.660 --> 00:01:51.150 align:middle line:84%
and without making
a big to do of it.

00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:53.480 align:middle line:90%
It wasn't for show.

00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:54.530 align:middle line:90%
It's just who she is.

00:01:54.530 --> 00:01:57.840 align:middle line:84%
JANIE HEATH: I can't help but
to think about my first time

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.970 align:middle line:84%
to really experience that
with you, that moment of 9/11

00:02:02.970 --> 00:02:07.380 align:middle line:84%
at Georgetown University, with
my husband at the Pentagon

00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:10.650 align:middle line:84%
and not knowing if my
husband was dead or alive.

00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:14.430 align:middle line:84%
And you were the first one
there to help support me

00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:18.210 align:middle line:84%
and to work through the
longest day of my life.

00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:23.130 align:middle line:84%
At the same time, who would have
ever known that you had family?

00:02:23.130 --> 00:02:29.100 align:middle line:84%
You had family there that right
there on the forefront of 9/11

00:02:29.100 --> 00:02:31.040 align:middle line:84%
and what was happening
in New York City,

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:33.960 align:middle line:84%
with your own brother
as a battalion

00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.810 align:middle line:84%
commander in the New
York Fire Department.

00:02:36.810 --> 00:02:40.200 align:middle line:84%
So I'll never, ever
forget that resilience

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:43.947 align:middle line:84%
that you had in
you to help others.

00:02:43.947 --> 00:02:45.780 align:middle line:84%
PAM CIPRIANO: The work
in compassionate care

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:48.240 align:middle line:84%
is such synergy
with what nurses do

00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.100 align:middle line:84%
every day for their
patients, for their families,

00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:53.790 align:middle line:84%
but not necessarily
really taking the time

00:02:53.790 --> 00:02:55.500 align:middle line:90%
to focus on themselves.

00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:58.080 align:middle line:84%
And as I used to
joke with her, things

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.030 align:middle line:84%
like yoga, that's
just not my thing.

00:03:00.030 --> 00:03:03.507 align:middle line:84%
[LAUGHS] On the other
hand, I recognize the value

00:03:03.507 --> 00:03:05.340 align:middle line:84%
and how important it
can be to other people.

00:03:05.340 --> 00:03:07.540 align:middle line:84%
So I believe that
in many respects,

00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:09.990 align:middle line:84%
the compassionate care
initiatives brought people out

00:03:09.990 --> 00:03:10.690 align:middle line:90%
of their shell.

00:03:10.690 --> 00:03:12.982 align:middle line:84%
DALLAS MICHELLE DUCAR: Very
busy schedule that she has,

00:03:12.982 --> 00:03:15.850 align:middle line:84%
she would still make time to sit
me down next to her office just

00:03:15.850 --> 00:03:17.340 align:middle line:90%
check in.

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:22.400 align:middle line:84%
So I felt extremely comfortable
to come to her as one

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:28.330 align:middle line:84%
of the first people when I
felt comfortable coming in.

00:03:28.330 --> 00:03:30.990 align:middle line:84%
And I felt comfortable not only
coming out, but transitioning

00:03:30.990 --> 00:03:34.060 align:middle line:84%
while at the school
of nursing, too.

00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:39.232 align:middle line:84%
And she was one of those
very first liaisons, one

00:03:39.232 --> 00:03:42.550 align:middle line:84%
of those first confidants,
one of those first people

00:03:42.550 --> 00:03:47.127 align:middle line:84%
where I knew, no
matter what I said,

00:03:47.127 --> 00:03:48.585 align:middle line:84%
she would just
greet me with laugh.

00:03:48.585 --> 00:03:50.860 align:middle line:84%
TAYLOR O'NEAL: First year,
one of my first encounters

00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:52.275 align:middle line:84%
that I had with
Dean Fontaine was

00:03:52.275 --> 00:03:54.730 align:middle line:84%
that she opened it up
during move-in weekend

00:03:54.730 --> 00:03:56.950 align:middle line:90%
to [INAUDIBLE] on the pavilion.

00:03:56.950 --> 00:03:59.860 align:middle line:84%
And she offered
cookies and lemonade.

00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:01.930 align:middle line:84%
And she just made you
feel right at home.

00:04:01.930 --> 00:04:05.410 align:middle line:84%
And it just set the tone for
everything that she does.

00:04:05.410 --> 00:04:08.200 align:middle line:84%
HANNAH CROSBY: She
doesn't just value you

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:13.150 align:middle line:84%
as an employee and the strengths
that you bring to your job

00:04:13.150 --> 00:04:17.740 align:middle line:84%
or as a student that you
bring to the classroom,

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:19.777 align:middle line:84%
she values you as a human
being and as a person.

00:04:19.777 --> 00:04:21.860 align:middle line:84%
AMY BOLTNETT: Because
people are always so amazed.

00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:24.890 align:middle line:84%
Oh, you have MS, and
you can still work,

00:04:24.890 --> 00:04:26.550 align:middle line:90%
like it's an anomaly.

00:04:26.550 --> 00:04:30.290 align:middle line:84%
But she's the reason
that I can do what I do,

00:04:30.290 --> 00:04:33.770 align:middle line:84%
that this place is not a big
obstacle to get in and out of

00:04:33.770 --> 00:04:35.070 align:middle line:90%
and to get to class.

00:04:35.070 --> 00:04:37.170 align:middle line:84%
So she always comes
up when people ask me,

00:04:37.170 --> 00:04:38.917 align:middle line:90%
how do you do it?

00:04:38.917 --> 00:04:40.500 align:middle line:84%
What do you attribute
to your success?

00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:43.590 align:middle line:84%
And I mention the way
she's been so supportive.

00:04:43.590 --> 00:04:45.900 align:middle line:84%
LARRY SABATO: Well, I
think people naturally

00:04:45.900 --> 00:04:49.830 align:middle line:84%
know who is open to
discussing their problems

00:04:49.830 --> 00:04:52.080 align:middle line:84%
and who wants to
help them genuinely

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:55.300 align:middle line:84%
and who just wants to float
along to the next event.

00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:57.180 align:middle line:84%
And there are
plenty of both types

00:04:57.180 --> 00:04:59.490 align:middle line:90%
here, as there are everywhere.

00:04:59.490 --> 00:05:01.110 align:middle line:90%
She's in the good category.

00:05:01.110 --> 00:05:03.080 align:middle line:90%

DIANE WASHINGTON:
Dear Dean Fontaine--

00:05:26.445 --> 00:05:29.070 align:middle line:84%
SCOTT SYVERUD: There's a banner
out front of the nursing school

00:05:29.070 --> 00:05:32.832 align:middle line:84%
which talks about how we treat
each other as care providers.

00:05:32.832 --> 00:05:35.255 align:middle line:84%
And she takes that to heart
and lives it every day.

00:05:35.255 --> 00:05:36.630 align:middle line:84%
EMILY DRAKE: I
think that message

00:05:36.630 --> 00:05:41.310 align:middle line:84%
about compassion and
respect is going to live on.

00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:47.680 align:middle line:84%
And I think that's something
she made us famous for.

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.070 align:middle line:84%
JANIE HEATH: 6 o'clock
in the morning yoga

00:05:50.070 --> 00:05:52.070 align:middle line:90%
was never part of me.

00:05:52.070 --> 00:05:55.470 align:middle line:84%
But I do thank you, Dorrie,
for helping to show me

00:05:55.470 --> 00:06:00.750 align:middle line:84%
that being mindful and
the importance of that

00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:05.220 align:middle line:84%
doesn't necessarily just come
with yoga and with meditation,

00:06:05.220 --> 00:06:08.850 align:middle line:84%
but it does come with
having full presence

00:06:08.850 --> 00:06:12.930 align:middle line:84%
and just being open with the
moment right in front of us.

00:06:12.930 --> 00:06:16.280 align:middle line:90%
[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:06:16.280 --> 00:06:59.328 align:middle line:90%
