November 2018 Honoree
rowena montojo, RN
Rowena came to me the day before I was to leave and was very attentive to my needs. At the end of the night when she brought my last medication and I was still snacking and watching TV we were talking about how my head still hurt, even though I could give the pain a 5 rather than the 10 it was when I arrived at the hospital. When she came back again, she gave a little pillow for my head and I noticed it was one that I had seen while going through the menu and reading what everyone's job is. The pillow I had liked the best was the frog pillow and low and behold that was the one she brought me, even though I had never mentioned it and did not know that it was one of the pillows that the nurses made that I had seen. It was the best thing to happen to me since being here and a great way to end my stay with all of the wonderful staff who took care of me. I love my pillow and will consider it to be from everyone because I was treated like family and I will cherish it as long as God will bless it to last. Thank you, Row, for blessing me!
Thank you, Rowena, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
