She stayed over from her already long shift to ensure my daughter was out of the woods before leaving her shift.
Kelsey helped me through my active labor & delivery! I was freaking out, and she helped me calm down and stay calm. Having her there for my delivery is something I hope for every expecting mom. Without her, I would’ve been a mess. Whenever I have my second baby, I hope Kelsey is here!

I cannot express the amount of compassion and quick thinking this nurse exhibited while caring for my daughter and granddaughter. My daughter’s condition quickly changed, and Kelsey identified it, responded quickly, and maintained a calm disposition through the entire event. She stayed with my daughter, monitoring her ever so closely, even though she had other patients on the floor. She stayed over from her already long shift to ensure my daughter was out of the woods before leaving her shift. As a nurse myself, I understand how easy it can be to “treat the symptoms” and not the patient. Kelsey exhibits the professionalism, knowledge, and care that every patient hopes for while receiving medical care. Because of her dedication and expertise, my daughter stabilized, and my granddaughter had a safe delivery!
