I had the heartbreaking experience of delivering my sleeping baby, and during that time, Corey was truly an angel by my side. From the moment she entered the room, her calm, compassionate presence made an unbearable situation feel just a little lighter. She cared for me with such gentleness and grace — explaining every step, anticipating every need, and never letting me feel alone.

Corey went above and beyond in ways I will never forget. She took the time to create beautiful footprints and tiny bracelets for my baby, keepsakes that I will treasure for the rest of my life. She treated my baby and me with the utmost empathy and humanity.

In one of the darkest moments of my life, Corey’s kindness and compassion brought light and peace. She is the definition of what nursing should be — skillful, selfless, and full of heart. I will forever be grateful to her for the way she cared for both me and my baby.

Thank you, Corey, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
