Salina was our nurse multiple times while my wife was in the ICU starting on Christmas Day and for nearly 2 weeks before getting transferred. Salina very quickly made a personal connection with my family. Particularly myself, my sister and my mother in law who stayed with my wife around the clock. Salina had a very personal touch including getting pictures of my wife and putting them up. Doing my wife's hair to make her more comfortable. We are always very happy to see Salina as the oncoming nurse. Salina followed up with my consent to check on my wife after she got transferred and even after she passed away. It was obvious that she cared much more than just clinical caring. It was personal and meant so much to my family. Thank you, Salina!
