Heather entered my room and immediately greeted me with a big smile stating her name and asking "how can I help you today?" She informed me that she had read the notes from my cardiologist and this made me feel so comfortable to know my nurse cared enough to know my history. She is most competent in her assessment and patient care. Heather is kind and caring and always puts the patient first. Heather is very knowledgeable and involves the patient’s family with teaching and education. CHI is extremely fortunate to have a nurse with Heather’s qualities! Heather will always have a special place in our hearts.
