The nursing profession is as much about kindness and caring for the whole person as it is about medical and technical knowledge. Having a deep awareness of and sympathy for someone else's suffering without judgment is the root of compassion. But for nurses it means so much more.
"Every nurse that I have come across is outstanding but Joan stands out above the rest. I truly think my wife's recovery would not have gotten to where it is today were it not for Joan H…I sleep better knowing that my wife is in her hands."
"I find Joan H. to be one of the finest examples of what a nurse should be. Her understanding, caring and love of her job is a reflection of a fine human being that she is."
We honor Joan for the compassion, professionalism and integrity she displays every day in her work.
