Nominations submitted from various family members: 

Very helpful in the care of our loved one.

Very compassionate and kind with my mother-in-law and the family. Great medical care.

She shows kindness towards my grandma and always knows just the right thing to do. She confidently explains everything that is happening to our family in such a hard time. She has made it easier for our family to go through such a hard time.

The amount of care and compassion she gave in answering all the questions we had about the whole process of transitioning of our mother.  Very much appreciated.

She went up and beyond to help us with everything that we needed.

When my mother-in-law was in hospital in her final days, she took excellent care of her and also the rest of our family. She took the time to answer our questions and explain things calmly and compassionately, sometimes multiple times as we are a large group. She kept my MIL comfortable and that means so much to us knowing she was not suffering.

She is always looking out for the patients and keeping the family informed on progress.

First and foremost, Cassandra is this nurse I have chosen who has always and always will go the extra mile to give the patient or patients she is working with 100% comfort at all times. She will call each patient she works with by name to make the patient feel like they are truly welcomed. I know Cassandra and she takes her job seriously and aims high for patient comfort here at Essentia Health.

She is taking good care of my grandma.
