My wife had aneurysm brain surgery, under the excellent and skillful care of Dr. C and his team in Radiology. After surgery, we were fortunate to be assigned an RN named Christie Jarrard. Christie exhibited and embodied the total essence of what a health care provider should be. She is a knowledgeable, professional, and provides care with great empathy. While caring for my wife, she always greeted us with a smile and was prompt and upbeat in assisting with her needs. Christie has the personality that puts one at ease during a trying time. She also fosters the perception that her patients are valued and deserving of the best care possible. Christie is a standout representative of the nursing profession.
