My mom had had a stroke and already had a number of comorbidities. Her granddaughter had just been born on Friday - too young to take into the hospital (it was Saturday). My mom was desperate to hold her. Rowena - despite being very busy - as you all are - found it in her heart to take my mom down in a wheelchair outside of the hospital where my mom was able to hold her grandbaby whose middle name is my mom's name.  Lots of tears and gratitude. Thank you, Rowena.

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