April 2018 Honoree

Cheryl was unbelievably awesome! My father arrived after suffering a stroke and having a seizure. To suggest his condition as grave would be an understatement. In spite of all that "heaviness", Cheryl brought a very professional upbeat attitude to my father's bedside that was so appreciated. Not only did she answer (medically) all the many questions that my mother and I posed to her, she would go a step further to try and address our emotional concerns. I can't imagine a more emotional time than your father being face-to-face with death. Cheryl never seemed to "sugar-coat" anything and her candid, truthful, caring responses were so appreciated by Mom and I. Often times Cheryl was doing things to Dad and she would always communicate to us "what" and "why" she was doing it. I can tell you I have never felt more "in partnership" than I do with Cheryl.
Thank you, Cheryl, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
