I would like to nominate my nurse Allison who gave me such amazing time and attention. I was having an episode and thought as a high-risk patient I was having a heart attack and wanted my daughter at 10 pm. She proceeded to contact my daughter and inform her in a calm and professional manner. She not only took the time to inform my daughter but made me feel safe, secure, and well cared for. She never made me feel like I was too needy or taking too much of her time. She went above and beyond to make a sick old lady feel better even if I really wasn't better yet. Thank you, Allison!

Allison continued the tradition of warm, caring, available nursing on the night shift that I encountered during the daytime. Extremely willing to help me and offer suggestions of things she or I could do to make me more comfortable beyond doctor's orders like removing a patch that was painful. She checked on me to ask if she could help me many times and promptly finished what she promised to do. I felt I was in good capable hands.

My nurse Allison was amazing. I had a heart attack. I was down in the E.R. where I was in extreme discomfort. I had to have a procedure. I was having a real hard time. She went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable. The care that she gave to me was like none other. She was an angel sent to me in my hour of need. She is compassionate and my wife and I owe her.
