Heath Gandy

Several appreciative comments were made in Heath's nominations:

Heath has been a great nurse throughout our stay. My father was in a lot of pain from his injuries, unbareable pain and I called for a nurse and he came running very quickly and gave my father some pain medicine and kept checking to make sure that he was alright. He also made sure that we had everything that we needed and was very polite about it.

Heath is the type of nurse that every sick person should have and they would be very grateful to have. His unfailing good humor made my stay here more entertaining. Thank you brother!

My medical conditions presented many challenges for this hospital and staff. Heath displayed exceptional "nursing" and "people" skills during my postoperative stay. He was quick to respond to all my medical needs. He was, in actuality a "lifesaver."

I had the misfortune of an accidental drug overdose that caused seizures and respiratory failure one day. He was the first to respond and with other nurses, his intervention brought me back from probable death.

I was suffering from a lot of pain from not being able to urinate and I had my son to call the nursing station and as soon as he called, Heath was there within a minute. Then he scanned my bladder within the next 5 minutes and within the next 2 minutes he was draining the urine and my pain was alleviated. He kept checking on me constantly making sure I was alright. This is a remarkable young man, he is what nurses should be.
