My daughter was admitted to the Pediatric floor at 5 days old for bilirubin phototherapy. My husband and I are first-time parents. Everything, including what this hospital stay would entail, is new and somewhat foreign to us. Sarah immediately made us feel at ease with her warmth, humor, and sharing of her own experiences as a mother. She had a never-ending supply of warm blankets to keep my baby comfortable and was beyond gentle when handling her.

While I was not her patient, she extended what amount of care that she could, bringing me warm beverages and a compress to ease my discomfort. She went above and beyond to help our entire family in those moments.

"Above and beyond” were words echoed by Sarah’s managers and co-workers as they described her dedication to her patients, especially the children being treated for psychiatric conditions. Sarah has a passion for providing them with the one-on-one attention they often need.
