This was my son's third visit in less than two months to the ER. He was diagnosed with C Diff (3rd time), and it has been a journey. Since this started around the end of March, he has not had the best experiences in immediate care/hospitals. DeAnna spent time with him and motivated him to do things I would never have thought he would have done...like drink the contrast. He is very sensitive and has some sensory issues when it comes to eating/drinking. She made him laugh and smile and answered every question he had. She was very attentive to him and his needs and honestly was a great, down-to-earth person to talk to. She deserves this nomination on many different levels. She was amazing and made our first experience out of three the best.

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