August 2018 Honoree
sam hayden, RN
I was recently admitted to the Neuro Unit at SVBGH to determine the cause of my mental and visual status changes. My stay was short, but I must say that the care I received was nothing but outstanding! Sam made sure I was comfortable from the moment I arrived until the minute I left. She showed concern and care for my situation, which gave me a sense of ease. She was professional in all of her interactions with me and continually showed me that she enjoyed her work. Throughout her shift, she made sure I was informed about all of the tests that were scheduled. Even though I was a little nervous from time to time, she made me feel comfortable with everything happening. I have been in the hospital several times and she is the absolute best nurse I have had. She even interacted very well with my wife, who is a physician and made sure she was kept up to date and answered all her questions.
Thank you, Sam, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
