Jason went above and beyond in his care for my dad. Jason cared for my dad as more than just a patient and treated him as a friend throughout his care while in the ICU. Jason laughed and joked with my dad as often as possible, lightening the mood and letting my dad feel “normal” for his time in the ICU. He shared stories the two had over the years, bringing levity to an otherwise dim situation. Jason knew the faith my mom had and shared a small token for her to carry while she was dealing with the knowledge that this was the end. He cared beyond the patient. He communicated thoroughly and effectively with our whole family and continued to answer questions with patience and kindness, even if they were repetitive. When hospice came to have a faith ceremony, Jason asked if he could join us and did. He joined in wholeheartedly and cried along with our family. We knew we were saying goodbye, and Jason remained incredibly caring and professional all through the process. We are so grateful to have had him in my dad’s final days.
