January 2020 Honoree
katie knapik, BSN, RN
I had lumbar spinal stenosis surgery and then was admitted for 4 days. Throughout my stay, Katie treated me like I was important as a family member. She truly cares for her patients and it shows! She's patient, informative, but above all she somehow knew what I needed and took care of me many times before I even asked for it. I know what it feels to be forever grateful to someone who stood by me and took excellent care of me from day one, especially when I was fragile. Katie helped me recuperate and encouraged me countless times to think positively and fight to recover when I thought there was little to no hope. To get through the recovery process she would do anything to ensure that all her patients are well cared for.
Thank you, Katie, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
