My husband was a patient here for a week. Our good fortune and immense blessing was the care that he received from every single one of his nurses and aids. He spent the majority of his waking hours with an angel named Nicole Erickson.

Every question was answered, every concern was addressed, every need was met. Nicole was knowledgeable, respectful, passionate, optimistic, patient and so much more. If she were looking for a family, we'd adopt her. If she were looking for a job, we'd hire her or promote her. If she were running for office, we'd vote for her.

Her energy is remarkable. I have always loved Palos Hospital since I gave birth here many years back. Nicole makes Palos a better hospital, a better place to be. God bless her and all her co-workers!
