Laurie recognizes patient needs, family needs, and caregiver/caretaker needs on a daily basis. She is more than willing to advocate for any one of these persons should she need to do so, in the case that they cannot advocate for themselves. Recently during a very difficult case, Laurie spent hours beyond her shift with a family that was in dire need of an ear, some direction, and compassion. Laurie put her heart and soul into this case, and it was exactly what this family needed. I want her to know she is appreciated more than she could imagine for the countless hours she spends doing her job and doing it well. I am certain this is not a unique day for Laurie, as she works diligently at her job daily. What an asset this Registered Nurse is to our CGH community. I am grateful to have her on our team!
