Congratulations to the November 2023 Colleague of the Month, Hashem Kalbouneh, M.D. Dr. Kalbouneh is being recognized for exemplifying our Mission and exhibiting our Core Values every day, particularly Reverence and Integrity.
As a Hospitalist at Saint Mary’s, Dr. Kalbouneh is known for his empathy and exceptional bedside manner. Not only is he an excellent physician, but Dr. Kalbouneh is empathetic and treats every patient like a member of his family. His character and generous heart extend beyond Saint Mary’s, as he is a volunteer at Malta House of Care mobile health clinic for the underserved in the community. Dr. Kalbouneh also organizes an annual clothing collection for the St. Vincent DePaul Mission.
One patient spoke of Dr. Kalbouneh saying, “He went above the call of duty, putting me at ease every step of the way and taking away all of my worries.” While a colleague stated, “Hash goes above and beyond and does the small things that connect with people and make it obvious he cares.”
