Karen L Parker, RN

My father had been so scared to be in the hospital by himself and this was his first time being hospitalized. I live 4 hours away from my parents and I had felt so guilty that I was unable to see him. Karen went above and beyond keeping my father informed and calm but also myself while I was hours away. I felt so blessed to know someone so kind and compassionate was caring for my father during such a scary time in his life.

Even though it has been a month since he was discharged my father still talks about Karen and the great lengths she went to help him through this fearful time. I will continue to voice my gratitude for this nurse. I feel Franciscan is very lucky to have such kind souls walking the halls of their hospitals, especially this nurse we had the pleasure of meeting.
