As an Imaging Technologist at Town Center, SC is used to seeing the excellent care Children's nurses regularly deliver. But when her own child was hospitalized at Egleston awaiting a heart transplant, she had the chance to see her colleagues from a parent's perspective as well. One Nurse especially impressed her: Gretchen Rudell.

"Gretchen never rushes through my daughter's care, and treats her as if she is her only patient."

Gretchen's attention to detail, respect for her colleagues and sunny manner have helped SC and her daughter handle the months of pain and anxiety that come with waiting for a transplant.
