April 2021 Honoree
martha zatarain, RN
My husband was admitted to your ER department with Covid. The ER department checked around all night to find an ICU open. At about 4:30 am, I informed Martha Zatarain of an open ICU bed. She called and made arrangements to have my husband medevaced out. Martha called me back and let me know about the arrangements. I then asked her if I could come to tell him goodbye. Martha made sure the other Nurse was okay with me being there. I got to be with him until he was airlifted out. That was the last time I got to speak to him. The last words he spoke to me were "I love you". I would not have had this special time and these precious last words if not for this special lady and her caring, loving heart. I feel Martha went above and beyond her abilities to let me have this last few hours that he was conscious. I pray God has a very special space for Ms. Martha Zatarain in heaven. Thank you Martha.
Thank you, Martha, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
