“I arrived at UP Health System – Marquette in a very ill condition, and when I found out my wife would not be able to be with me, my stress level was elevated. I soon found that the staff at UP Health System – Marquette went beyond any expectations I had. My nurse, Jan, cared for me with comfort and compassion. She left me feeling like I had won the lottery with the hardest-working, most compassionate RN. Jan was always quick to see to all of my needs. She showed the highest level of concern for my well being.” - Patient
