Nurse Alexis was just an angel on this Earth sent to me. I had her a majority of my stay and your other nurses were amazing as well but she was an angel. I was so scared when I came to Magee because another hospital scared the heck out of me and my fiance. They had us thinking I wasn't going to make it and if I did I wasn't going to have my female organs (which was really hard to hear because my fiance of 8 years and I lost one preemie, another premie at 16 weeks, and I suffered a miscarriage. Alexis just gave the kindest, sincere care. She told me everything about my infection and gave me peace of mind. I have been to many hospitals in different states due to my other chronic condition and never have I ever had an experience at any of them like I have had here. My entire team were angels but Alexis was different.

I am in the medical field myself and it takes a special person to be a nurse like Alexis. She truly is a nurse angel. She got me to not give up, be comfortable, and because of her, I stayed my full time and received the care I needed to get better. I usually sign myself out and never finish but because of her and her team, I did! Please, she truly deserves this Award. I have tears in my eyes as I write this letter because there is not enough paper or time to write everything amazing about her.

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