Brandie cared for a patient in liver failure who was quite upset and not committed to receiving treatment. Brandie bonded with him over their mutual love of Star Wars. She informed him of a new movie and a new theme park coming out, helping him find the motivation to continue the fight for a transplant. She was also able to organize a visit from the 501st Legion, a group of people who dress as Star War characters. It did wonders for his spirit and the staff's and he received his transplant shortly thereafter. It usually requires 3 months notice to organize a visit from this group but Brandie pulled it off in just 1 week! She is kind and compassionate and does whatever it takes to raise her patients' spirits.

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