Cheryl Mestrovich exudes compassion with every patient interaction. Cheri is not only treating their wounds; she is treating the entire patient. She has meaningful conversations with the patients and their families, alleviating their fears. She is honest about the wound's progress while giving encouragement and setting realistic goals. Cheri teaches her patients, their families, and every one of her peers. Her passion for excellence in everything she does is contagious. Cheri is not just a wound care nurse; she is a compassionate and caring person who doesn't leave the patient/room until everything is completed (including changing the linens, patient, etc). She makes us all better! Cheryl deserves recognition for these and many other reasons, as she exemplifies an outstanding nurse.
