Marta was nominated by a patient for providing exceptional nursing care. The patient stated, "My medical challenges in the last two years have led to spending more than 12 weeks in hospitals and rehabs, so I have interacted with many nurses, and Marta stands out. I wish that I had one big example of how Marta saved the day. Instead, the outstanding excellence I explained is best characterized as a consistent, caring focus on me as a patient, through to the smallest of details. She demonstrated her care for me by knowing my name, my family’s names, knowing my concerns, and acting on them. She always gets back to me on my requests. She always comes in with a smiling, sincere greeting. Following up on my inquiries. Basically, Allstate Insurance could have been talking about her when they say, “You’re in good hands.” I have come to think of her more as a friendly advocate than as a nurse. Care under her is more than care of my body. Her joyfulness lifts my spirits, and her optimism encourages my soul and outlook on my situation."
