October 2025 Honoree
Katie Anderson 2025, RN
I had a scheduled surgery that I expected to be admitted for. I was not expecting to have complications nor being admitted for over a week. During the time I have been here, I have had multiple nurses caring for me. I had the pleasure of having Katie for multiple days.
I am a Nurse myself, so I know the expectations and standards of patient care. She demonstrated care that was above and beyond. I was tended to in a prompt and caring way. If I needed ice or a warm blanket, she did not hesitate to quickly grab the items I needed.
My husband stayed with me in the room the entire time I was admitted. She made sure he was comfortable, and they answered any and all questions that he had. My husband and I both felt validated and comfortable during our stay. I have been hospitalized many times in my life, and I have to say that this has been the best time I have been treated as an inpatient ever.
I have been experiencing extreme pain, and Katie took it seriously. One evening, I had thrown up all over myself, and she helped me clean up and change my clothes. I would like to recognize her for her dedication and positive energy. I felt loved and cared for in the past week despite the challenges my health has presented to me.
