Her compassion for her job shows through her actions.
My 28-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome was in for 3 nights with Mono. She was very anxious and scared. Cat was amazing with her. She made sure to explain everything they did to her, and she was so very patient with her, which is hard sometimes. She went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was always comfortable. Her compassion for her job shows through her actions. We are so thankful that she took care of her. She is an amazing human. Cat wasn't just there for my daughter, but for us as well. Always asking if we needed anything or had any questions. She brightened our girl's days, and we are so thankful for that. This wasn't an easy thing for our daughter as she doesn't like change and isn't fond of bloodwork, needles, etc. We thank Cat for being the amazing person she is!
