Michael Bartley was recognized by a patient's family, who said he is a true example of an extraordinary nurse who not only cares for the sick but serves his patients with love and compassion.
During their father's regular visits, the family said Michael always knows his needs and makes him feel safe. Each day, he comes into the room, takes him by the hand and says, "I'm here to take care of you today."
The family described Michael as so much more than the definition of a nurse. They can tell Michael truly enjoys caring for others, as he always has a smile on his face, and they see God's light shine in him when he is caring for their father.
