July 2016 Honoree
matthew meeks, RN
Matt was my nurse for two days. He explained everything they did in treating my double pneumonia in clear detail. My wife commented she understood him very well, important since patients don't see the doctor but usually once per day.
***
Matt cared for me yesterday afternoon. He was very conscientious. He noticed an IV in my right arm that should have been removed after the ancillary lymph nodes were removed during surgery. He had the IV moved to the other arm. He also noticed I was still on full liquids, checked the chart and saw confusing orders regarding food and looked into it. I was glad to then get solid food! Matt also checked on other confusing orders and looked into things. Today he came by even though he wasn't assigned to me. I felt like he was really thinking about my care and every little thing.

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