A few months ago, I was sitting in a meeting, and someone at the table said that if they could hand-pick a nurse at Spencer Hospital to work on them, it would be Clara, and I now fully understand that statement. I was driving home late one Saturday night with my one and a half year old daughter in the backseat and unfortunately between the wet roads and how foggy it was we got into a rollover accident. I asked the ambulance crew to take us to Spencer Hospital and the moment I walked through the ED doors I had a moment of relief when I saw who was on shift that night. Clara immediately took me and my daughter to the trauma beds and got to work. Between the adrenaline of the accident and worrying about how my daughter was, I didn’t realize that I was having contractions when we got there. I was in shock and couldn’t feel baby moving. Clara called OB right away and got out the Doppler to check for the baby's heartbeat. She started searching for his heartbeat, and finally, a wave of relief hit when we both heard it – loud, clear, and strong. This was the moment for me that set Clara apart from every other person I know – I immediately started crying tears of relief and I looked up and Clara’s eyes were filled with tears and she just took a moment and grabbed my hand and celebrated with me in that moment. I’ll never forget the comfort and relief she provided me in those moments. Clara, I hope you always know how extraordinary you are. You provide care and comfort to people at their most vulnerable times and sometimes the worst days of their lives, and you were truly handpicked by God to do this job. Spencer Hospital wouldn’t be the same without you. Thanks for making me and my family feel safe and loved.
