The smiles they greet us with, their patience as I ask unending questions, the clarity and completeness of their answers, and their kindness and respect are but a few of the reasons why they are such extraordinary and exceptional people.
My daughter is currently a patient on the 5700 floor. She is seven months pregnant with twins and is dealing with pre-eclampsia. The family had a lot to take in and process. So much information came to us from several different people in a short amount of time. Plans for her care, and immediate future, were set in place. As you might imagine, our lives changed so much that day! As our stay continues, we have been abundantly blessed to have Erica and Empress as our nurses! They, too, have helped us through several ups and downs! Their support is so very comforting, and their care is unsurpassed. The smiles they greet us with, their patience as I ask unending questions, the clarity and completeness of their answers, and their kindness and respect are but a few of the reasons why they are such extraordinary and exceptional people. Their passion for their profession is so very evident. I am confident that my daughter is receiving the best care possible! I am equally grateful for the manner in which she is receiving that care. We feel extraordinarily blessed to be here at DBC.

Thank you so very much for your time to read this and for allowing me the opportunity to express to you my experiences with such outstanding nurses! I don’t know where my daughter would be if not for their wonderful care and outstanding ability. We look forward, with great anticipation and hearts full of hope, to the twins' birth. We know the care they receive will be as wonderful as the care their mother received while she was waiting for them!
