Chrissie Ferreira, RN

I have been very sick for the past year, and the sicker I got, the more nervous and anxious I became. Chrissie not only held my hand and kept in direct contact with me, but she swore she wouldn't let me go through the procedure alone. She promised and kept her word that she would be there every step of the way, and she never wavered.

She shared stories of her children and personal life to calm me down. She's an absolute dream. I've never met anyone better suited for this job. You and every patient here benefit from her presence. I'm honored to have met her and am a better, healthier person for it.

Also, I know, without her saying, that she missed her meal because of what was going on with me. She never once complained or made any negative remarks. Her patients were her priority always.

If I had a special wish, it would be that she somehow gets recognized for her impeccable work ethic and her great attitude.

I will never forget you, Chrissie.
