Marie Bell was nominated by two different patients.

I had just heard from my doctor at infectious diseases that after 8 weeks of infusion my cellulitis was not cured. Marie patiently listened and told me not to give up; encouraged me to seek other options. She took the time to give me helpful information…Marie renewed my confidence that I could heal.

Ms. Bell’s clinical skill and especially her compassionate care exemplify the kind of nurse that we, the patients, our families, and the hospital’s staff recognize as an outstanding role model…She is so deserving of this recognition and award. She is a no-nonsense professional, knowing her craft inside and out. I am very lucky to have had Marie at my side through many of my traumas in the hospital. I truly felt safe and respected.
