My nurse, Mary Brown, that I have had take care of me multiple times is an absolute godsend! She is really an amazing individual! I have had numerous issues with my primary care provider regarding my blood pressure and tachycardia medication. When Mary was taking my vitals, I made a comment to her about how I was unable to afford one of my prescriptions because my doctor would not switch it to one covered by my insurance. I had been having this issue since May and was becoming frustrated due to being on a limited income. I live month to month, so even a small expense is big to me. I had even tried having my pharmacy contact my doctor's office to switch the prescription without any luck.
After my appointment with Mary, I arrived home to a phone call from my doctor's office informing me that my doctor had changed my prescription to one covered by my insurance and had sent it to my pharmacy. I was shocked that this happened out of the blue! But it hadn't happened out of the blue, I found out Mary had sent a message to my doctor about her concerns over my vital signs and the issue with my medication. Mary, thank you so much!

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