One patient's daughter noted about Liz: "My father was feeling down and depressed; he was stuck in the hospital for many days. He missed the sunshine, the feel of the sun on his face. Liz heard this, and without even getting him out of his bed, she wheeled him up to 5 Lacks, into the open garden. My dad was able to sunbathe, and he was in such a better mood. I can't believe how incredibly caring Liz was to make this happen for him."
During the surprise ceremony for Liz, her colleagues hugged her, and Liz exclaimed it was a team effort. "Everyone on the unit does this for their patients! I couldn't do this without such a great team!"
