Adam was with eight little ones after their grandpa passed away. He sat with them and let them express their grief and share their thoughts. He encouraged them to remember the happy moments they shared with their Pop-pop. By the end of the day, the tears turned into smiles, all the way around.

I wanted to send kudos out to Adam. I happened to be looking for him and saw him sitting on the floor trying to comfort some young children whose family member had been made GIP hospice. Seeing him talking to those kids down on their level was such a touching experience that I began to tear up. What an exemplary example of what nursing is all about.

Thank you, Adam, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
