Rita Kraus
Rita gives her patients extraordinary care, so much that they love her and remember her for many years following their actual treatment. If you go anywhere in this community with Rita, patients will invariably run up to her, hug her and thank her for her compassionate care and concern. This goes for family members of even her deceased patients! They never forget the extra time, effort, and concern she showed for their loved ones at such a vulnerable and stressful time in their lives. Rita has been a nurse in one of the most stressful areas of her profession ~ Oncology ~ for over 20 years. I think it is extraordinary that she is not burned out, but as caring as she was when she was fresh out of nursing school.

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