Risa went above and beyond to help my entire family. My husband had a major heart attack followed by two cath procedures to provide 4 stints. I have never been so scared, as I couldn't imagine this world without my husband and the father of our 10 and 12-year-old children. While stressed, worried and anxious, especially about how we would find a way for our children to see their dad and alleviate their fears, Risa went beyond the call of duty. She actually timed it with us to bring my husband out of the ICU to see them in the waiting area with a portable EKG machine. Our daughter suffers sometimes from debilitating anxiety and being able to see her dad all dressed and outside of a hospital room reduced all of her worries to nothing! I am forever grateful for how she cared clinically and emotionally for my husband and our whole family. Risa remained so warm and caring during back to back 12-hour shifts and amazed me as a person and a co-mom. Thank you,Risa!
