I found Koco to be such a pleasant nurse. She was very helpful in answering all my questions. She was respectful to both my roommate and me. She was very professional. In my experience with nurses, she has been one of the best. She was smiling and upbeat and gave me a feeling of confidence. I wish there were more nurses like her in the profession. I confidently nominate her for The DAISY Award!

I did not realize that my morning walk with my puppy would result in me passing out midway. My primary doctor suggested that I go to the hospital. With all the concerns of the current virus, I anticipated a long wait at the ER dept. The Seven Rivers Hospital was super efficient and saw me within 10 minutes and for the next 5 or 6 hours gave me every test known to man. It was determined that I should stay in the hospital for two nights. During my stay, I was seen by many very professional and caring nurses and doctors. Followed by many more tests, blood draws, blood pressure tests, etc. etc. all of the nurses and doctors were super caring and I regret that I do not recall all their names. However, my one nurse stands out in my mind, Koco, my main nurse who cared for me from beginning to end. Every time I needed anything (like some meds to help me sleep) I was told "you'll have to see Koco" and every time I needed anything, Koco was there to make sure it happened, for which I am most grateful. She took time to talk with us to exchange news of her daughters and my sons and that we only live about 1 mile apart. It was good to separate my medical care with personal stuff. My thanks to 7 Rivers and all staff.

Koco is an amazing nurse! She took care of my father while he was a patient for a week on the 2nd floor. She always kept my mother and me very informed and was very caring and attentive to "my daddy"! I can't begin to thank her enough. She is a true inspiration.

Koco is very professional. One of the nicest nurses I ever had, always has a good attitude, very prompt. No more I can ask for. All the nurses were very nice, but something about her was special.
