I am writing to nominate Mallory Parker, an exceptional nurse whose dedication, compassion, and advocacy have made a profound impact on my life. I began experiencing severe stomach pain and unintentional weight loss. After a series of tests and consultations, I was referred to Mallory’s clinic for further care. From the moment I arrived, she demonstrated unwavering support and compassion in the face of uncertainty and fear.

As my journey progressed, Mallory went above and beyond to ensure that my care was thorough, timely, and responsive. Despite my primary care provider, Dr. D, ordering tests and referrals to specialists, it was Mallory who ensured that I was not left waiting in uncertainty. After a series of tests, it was Mallory who continued to check in regularly, always ensuring I was informed, and my concerns were heard.

When my symptoms persisted despite a six-week trial of dietary changes, Mallory immediately took action. She reached out to the clinician and advocated.
