Mary Grace Mader, RN

Nominated by a patient, Mary Grace was recognized for the thoughtful, attentive care that helped transform a difficult experience into one that felt more manageable. “From the moment she enters the room, her positive attitude and warm smile help ease fear and build trust during difficult moments,” the patient said. Mary Grace supports her patients with kindness in the small but meaningful tasks they cannot do themselves, always responding quickly and without making them feel like a burden. “She took the time to explain wound care and medications in a clear and patient manner, ensuring I felt informed and never rushed,” the nominator wrote.
