January 2026 Honoree
Joe Gatzemeyer, RN
Joe and the team showed up and showed out for my mom's birthday. Not only did they recognize her birthday, but they also created things for her room to help us decorate. Joe was so passionate about helping my mom and us. He is great.
***
Joe was very kind. His manner was gentle and caring. Always available for simple or complex questions. Took great care to get all the dried blood off my husband’s face and hair. Continuously communicating with each step of care. A dash of humor, smiles throughout the shift, and outstanding care all around.
***
Joe was my mother’s nurse. He was exceptional in both his demeanor and his approach to his responsibilities. He listened intently and thought about what was asked of him in providing care for my mother. He made the effort to understand her concerns and to take steps to make her more comfortable. He gave us both confidence that he understood and cared to make her time there the best it could be. We both really appreciated his time and effort. I am thankful that she was in Joe’s hands today.
