Blaine Macias 2, RN

As my diagnosis was unclear for several weeks, Blaine Macias was extremely caring and diligent in working with doctors and communicating with my family and me to ease our fears and make our stay as comfortable as possible. She treated each of us like family and it felt like she was there every step of the way. Blaine is personable, a great leader, and an efficient nurse - and became a friend during some of the scariest times of our lives. There are no words that can express our 'Thank You!' to Blaine Macias. From braiding my very matted hair to helping me feel as normal as possible as my body underwent several changes, tests, and procedures, Blaine left a special imprint on my heart and the hearts of my mother and husband.
