“Charlie was a kind man; he was a very good nurse. He always took very good care of me and did everything he could to make me comfortable. At night, I couldn't get any sleep; Charlie would get me what I needed to help me have a better night.”

“Charlie provided my mother with exceptional care. I arrived just after 8 am, and he assisted my mother to the restroom, set up a breakfast tray, and made more trips to the bathroom. Charlie explained there would be more labs and tests along with a visit from cardiac rehab. Each time, he asked if Mom was okay with him helping her. Charlie is very gentle in handling mom but did so with confidence. I believe a newer nurse but already a great one. Charlie went above and beyond responding to call lights.”

“Charlie is an exceptional nurse for being so young. He displayed great compassion, kindness, and skill set. He was very patient and has exceptional follow-up. If I were not present at the hospital and there were any questions about my mother or from my mother, he would contact me to ask or review any questions. I was very impressed - he is one that I believe should be mentoring for leadership roles.”

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