My husband and I went to the funeral of his Aunt in Tallulah Falls. We decided to spend 1 night in Cornelia to make it easier on my husband (81-years-old). My husband is on oxygen and we brought his oxygen concentrator. When I started setting it up I realized I didn’t have the connector to put the hose from the concentrator to the hose from the nasal cannula. It was 5:30 on a Sunday afternoon. I was in a panic. The Hampton Inn suggested calling the medical center. I spoke with Marlana who was super kind. She suggested coming to the ER to let her see what I had and what she could do. When I got there, she looked at what I had checked the ER then went to the floor to check with respiratory therapy. She came back with several connectors for me. I was about in tears from her kindness and willingness to go above and beyond to help me. I’m a retired nurse and was beating myself up for forgetting something so important; she comforted me and was an Angel to me. Thank you for hiring such kind empathetic nurses!

Thank you, Marlana, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
