I was moved to tears by the thoughtfulness of RN Araceli. I appreciated that she made me feel so comfortable during my stay at the hospital. When I brought up complaints about how bad I was feeling, she listened to my concerns and helped me feel like I wasn’t just overreacting. 

I also appreciate that she responded quickly to my room when I hit the call button for a nurse. It also put my mind at ease when I’d explain a symptom that was happening, and she’d quickly contact the doctor to see what medicines would treat me. 

I also was very appreciative that she contacted the kitchen for me to have them bring something that would be easier for my stomach to digest. A shout-out to the lovely cafeteria manager for physically coming to my room to go over my diet restrictions.

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