Keri went above and beyond to help a patient awaiting a heart transplant get married while in the intensive care unit. She helped the patient and their spouse get ready, invited family, decorated the room, and purchased a wedding cake to help make their day so much more special. The patent and their family hold Keri near and dear to their heart now and forever for making their wedding beautiful even in the ICU. Keri is a compassionate and loving nurse who cares deeply for her patients and without skipping a beat she will be there for them.
