This nurse was so caring and attentive. It is obvious they love their job and really care for their patients.
During conversations between this nurse and my husband, they found out that my husband plays music. On this nurse’s day off, they brought over a ukulele for my husband to play and some homemade banana bread. This really made our stay much better! Whenever I needed anything, this nurse never hesitated to help, and it never seemed like a burden or annoyance.
When my husband went home for a day, this nurse made a point to come in and talk with me a little more than normal.

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