Christi Gallier, RN

We had a patient in the ICU who was not doing well. He fought his way to downgrade, and said he owes it all to Christi. When I asked him how she made a difference in his healing process, he began to tear up. He said, “I don’t know Christi but I love her. She is an angel sent to me from God. She brought me magazines from home to help occupy my time, and she sat, held my hand, and prayed with me on my difficult days. She made such an impact on my life, and forever changed the way I view not only nurses, but Southeast Memorial Hermann.”

This patient’s father passed away at our hospital and he did not want to come here originally. Rounding on him days later, he gives thanks to God that he did. The patient is at an LTAC now on the road to recovery thanks to the amazing care he received. When I informed another nurse about what Christi had done for this patient she said, “I am not surprised at all. That sounds exactly like Christi.” Thank you, Christi. We are so lucky to have you here in our ICU.
