October 2021 Honoree
Erica Simon, RN
I was brought into the ER due to sudden death, I had open heart surgery with valve replacement and a pacemaker put in. This was a very scary moment in my life, once I was brought to the floor Erica was there for me and my needs including a contagious laugh that cheered me up and made me giggle every time I heard it. Over a week later, I had my birthday, I should have been depressed spending it in the hospital but Erica's thoughtfulness made sure that didn't happen, she went out of her way (no surprise) to bring me a beautiful cake and funny card. This made my day and I now have a good story to end with. I had a group of great nurses who deserve recognition but if every patient had an Erica the hospital stay would, without doubt, be more uplifting and unforgettable.
Thank you, Erica, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
