Jill Hendry is a very warm and caring human being. She remains positive in difficult situations. The patients know her, love her, and will relate to her when they won't to anyone else. She knows all the patients and their families and the physicians depend on her to let them know about personal issues that may affect the patient's care.

During the Christmas season this year, Jill felt very connected to all those patients on the 4th floor that would not be able to go home for the holiday. She wanted to recognize all of them and let them know that someone was thinking of them and cared about them. Many of our patients are all alone and have no one. Jill and her daughter baked cookies, bought candy, and made Christmas decorations by hand for all the patients on the 4th floor. They then came in on Christmas and visited every patient and gave them the gift they made. I can tell you, it made a great deal of difference in their spirits and it was all they could talk about for days.

Jill is an angel and is also setting a wonderful example of caring and compassion for her daughter.
