Hello! I was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer at 32. I have three young children at home and had a total thyroidectomy quickly after diagnosis. I had a prolonged hospitalization due to complications, and Magaly was one of my many great nurses. She provided exceptional care and stopped by to see me on her day off. She gave me the most thoughtful gifts that I will cherish forever. I am a Registered Nurse myself, and the compassion and sincerity Magaly showed me is the kind of nurse I strive to be. If she receives this deserving award, I would love to be present to give her a hug and show her how much I appreciate her thoughtfulness and kindness.
