Michael Lopez 2023, BSN, RN

Mike has an amazing heart. He is such a kind and compassionate nurse. One evening, Mike was getting his patient ready for discharge. He sent his patient's spouse to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions. Unfortunately, on the way back from the pharmacy the patient's spouse got a flat tire. She was able to make her way to the hospital entrance, however, at this point it was late and the lobby was empty with no one available to help. She made several calls, but she still was not able to find any help. She was in tears and was very frustrated. When Mike heard of her trouble, he didn’t hesitate to offer help. He stepped in and offered to change the tire. Mike successfully changed the tire and got the patient and his family home safely. I want to recognize Mike for going above and beyond. He is a tremendous nurse.
