September 2014 Honoree
larrah strain, BSN, RN
... "my step-son accidentally shot himself while cleaning a gun. He was at MMH ICU for about 1.5 days awaiting transport to St. Luke's in Houston for maxillofacial repair. Larrah exhibited kindness and compassion. She carefully explained everything that she was doing in a way that he would understand. She was attentive and never seemed bothered by being asked for anything - no matter how minor. I have worked at MMH (an MD) for 28 years and she is one of the best nurses I have ever encountered."
