September 2019 Honoree
cory gemmill, BSN, RN
My first treatment was 1 year and 8 months ago. I'm not going to lie, I was scared to death. I got called back, they put me and my family in this room that had windows, I thought, "Oh how nice," then I heard, "Good morning, my name is Cory. What's your date of birth and name?" As I heard his voice, there and then I knew I was in good hands. He spoke with compassion; he spoke to me as if I had been going there for years.
As he started my chemo he said if I feel anything to let him know right away. Well, I did feel something. I called for Cory (actually screamed) and he came right to me, as well as 4 other nurses did too. They gave me Benadryl, and all was well. I made him promise me I wasn't dying. He stayed in my room until treatment was over.
Since my first treatment with Cory over a 1 year/8 months and he was still so compassionate, caring, understanding, he truly is an amazing nurse. I thought he was just being so nice to me on my 1st visit but that is just how Cory is fantastic!

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