November 2021 Honoree
Ian Higuera, RN
Following a recent medical event, my husband was admitted to the IRU. Both my husband and I were taken back by this life-changing event. We were fearful and apprehensive as to what would lay ahead for his recovery. All of the IRU personnel are wonderful caregivers. One nurse in particular, Ian Higuera, provided to my husband, and I, extraordinary care.
Ian immediately sensed our anxiety. His calm, strong, yet gently manner assured us that the IRU was where my husband should be to get on the right road to recovery. He made us both feel important and not just like another patient. In no time, we felt as if we had known Ian for a long time. On those days that Ian was my husband’s nurse, we both felt more comfortable and taken care of. He made sure I, as the spouse, was also getting through this ordeal and even offered tea and water to me. Ian is just extraordinarily respectful and caring.

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