Deanna and I met on the third day of my hospital stay and she came in and assessed me; I was nauseated, weak and despairing. She educated my husband and me to wait for the natural healing process. She taught me that fear is only an enemy if unaddressed. Her gentle patience and persistent education allowed me to take charge of my body that had collapsed under the pressure of surgery and medications. Deanna encouraged me, gave me hope, and her intuitive skilled care created the deepest kind of healing, the kind that springs from within.

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