May 2016 Honoree
deana uehran, RN
I haven't had to use these facilities much before, but recently I ended up in the ER in the wee hours of the morning, twice in the last six weeks. Deana was my ER nurse both times. She displayed a level of compassion that let me know she cared about how I felt. I knew that she wanted to do whatever she could to help, and that she had my back. I wasn't alone, even though I had arrived that way. I really appreciate that she worked with the doctor to find meds that would work when the one they had given me had fallen far short of expectations. I work with Deanna and thought I knew her as a co-worker, but I saw another side of this awesome nurse: the caregiver. I really felt that she was watching over me. While that might be her job, the compassion she did it with comes purely from inside.
Thank you, Deana, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
