I have had several surgeries performed at this hospital and Ruth was my nurse. She is very compassionate and caring. On my first surgery, I had very dry lips and had nothing for them so when I returned for my next surgery, Ruth brought me some of her homemade balm for my lips. As I continue to see her when I come in for other procedures, she always has kind words and a hug for me and I'm sure I'm not the only one! I simply love her - she is the BEST!

I found Ruth to be very caring as my surgery time approached. She was there with me and never left, which made me feel secure and comfortable. I liked her very much.

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