August 2023 Honoree
Edna Valdepenos, RN
If there is a spectacular nurse it's Edna. When I felt my worse, she somehow made me feel better, and she made me feel like I wasn't all alone. In fact, she made me feel like I had family. Not only did she care for me, but she went out of her way to show me how to use and clean the tubes coming out of my stomach. She coaxed me into eating better, so the GI tube could remain functional at all times. I felt protected, and safe, and she said everything would be just fine and I looked very good. She said everyone is great at NCH!
Thank you, Edna, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
