Rikki Smith has gone above and beyond the call of duty. The first day we were blessed to have her as our nurse and I knew immediately we were in the best of hands. She has taken nursing to a new level. She not only cared for the physical body but also our minds and souls.
Every day that I woke up to find Rikki as our nurse, I knew any obstacle we may face that day she would be handling it with us hand in hand. Every time I asked her opinion on anything I trusted what she had to say because I knew it was coming from a place of genuine care and concern for my daughter's recovery. She not only cared for my daughter but she cared about me. She made sure I understood everything and that I felt comfortable with every decision that was made.
Rikki could tell when I was having a difficult time or when I was scared, or when I was just worn out, and she did whatever she could to make me feel better. She called the chaplain when she knew I needed extra support. She was always available to listen with a smile and hug for reassurance. Rikki is by far the best nurse we have ever had the pleasure of working with.

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