August 2023 Honoree
Marisela Quezada de Magana, BSN, RN
I have been a nurse myself for nearly 30 years and have had the opportunity to work alongside nurses in a variety of capacities, as well as be on the receiving end of care a handful of times. Marisela is, hands down, the best nurse I have ever had or could have asked for after my surgery. She was attentive and provided appropriate encouragement and education every step of the way. I felt as though I was her only patient and never would have known any different. Her smile and calm demeanor set me at ease from the moment I got to my room, and she anticipated my needs before I ever asked. She was so knowledgeable and compassionate, and it is clear she loves her job. As healthcare workers, we often take the little things for granted, but I am reminded of the importance of kindness and compassion in our daily work and the impact it makes on our patients. I am so grateful for Marisela’s expert care and compassion and proud she is one of UnityPoint’s own.
Thank you, Marisela, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
