February 2026 Honoree
Hannah Speaks, BSN, RN
I went to CeDAR to seek help with my addiction, and Hannah was so wonderful, kind, compassionate, and loving. I could see that she genuinely cared about me and my well-being. I was very ill, going through withdrawal longer than expected, and she was constantly checking on me, adjusting my medication as needed until we found the right dose.
This made a huge difference because, prior to coming to CeDAR, I had tried to get clean but couldn’t. Being on the right medications and doses was crucial to my recovery. I feel like I now have a fighting chance against my addiction, and it’s because of her nursing care. She changed my life; she was encouraging, and she gave me hope again.
I just wanted to let her know about the impact she has when caring for her patients. I will never forget what she did for me. All the nurses and doctors here were helpful, but Hannah connected with me in a way that truly deserves recognition. Thank you for your dedication. I can see that this is more than just a job for her.
