October 2014 Honoree
jacqueline stanzel, BSN
I met Jacqueline when I was at the Women's Hospital for an ablation procedure. She was taking care of me as I was coming out of anesthesia and she felt a lump in my right breast. After she asked if she could do an exam, she found two more lumps. I remember that she was adamant that I go and have a mammogram and get them checked out. I am going in on Monday to have a mastectomy and I want to thank Jacqueline for caring so much that she went beyond just doing her job that day. I had already had my yearly mammogram in three months before so who knows when or if I would have found the lumps on my own. I have three small children and a wonderful husband and I am going to beat this cancer and live a long life with all of them, and I can't help but think that part of the reason I am going to do that is thanks to Jacqueline Stanzel. We go through life not always knowing how we touch other people's lives but I want her to know that she has touched mine in an amazing way. Thank you so very much.
Thank you, Jacqueline, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
