My husband had his right knee replaced and six weeks later, had his left knee replaced. Then his heart began to act up - low, low blood pressure and rapid heart rate. I was called about 10:00 p.m. to come to the hospital. He was being moved from 9th floor up to 10th where he could receive more individualized care. I was scared and so was my husband. When I got to his room, I met his nurse, Greg Gunwall, who seated me right next to my husband's bed; he kept me informed as to what the monitor was recording; what the treatment was; what results were expected, etc. Nurse Gunwall kept in close contact with the doctor. I felt so relieved to see such kind, professional, experienced care. My husband was moved to 6th floor (cardiac) where eventually his heart was under control again. Now a year later, with medication, he is doing well.

I could meet Greg Gunwall on the street and not recognize him but on that night in March he was my hero.

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