Through it all, Norma's warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care created a sense of hope and trust for the family.
When a young pediatric patient arrived at our clinic, overwhelmed by multiple specialists, therapies, and medication needs, Norma stepped in with patience, kindness, and unwavering dedication. She guided the family through every referral, appointment, and therapy, always checking in to make sure the child had what he needed, not just medically but also emotionally.

In addition, the child presented to our clinic in a wheelchair too big for him; he expressed how upset he was that he could not do things on his own, or be independent, and he could not play with other children because he always needed help. Norma was able to help him obtain a wheelchair, and one day the child came to the clinic to visit with a big smile in his own wheelchair, sharing stories on how he could now play with his friends and be independent. Through it all, Norma's warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care created a sense of hope and trust for the family. Her compassion touches every patient she meets, and her dedication exemplifies the very best of nursing.
