I am a Pasco County Deputy who drowned on duty and was flown into your amazing facility. Kerry followed my wife in this difficult situation, constantly providing hope for my recovery. I was able to recover due to Kerry's dedication to patient care and suggesting using the ECMO unit to the attending doctors. This is the only reason I am on this earth today. Kerry still contacts my wife to check on my progress, and the pair have become friends as Kerry's love for her patients is truly evident.

This is Kerry's 2nd DAISY Award! 

Thank you, Kerry, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
