February 2025 Honoree
Savannah J. Avila, RN
Savanah was my nurse when I came out of my C-section, and I can't thank her enough for her care and attentiveness. She listened closely to every symptom I described and I trusted her.
While she was checking and pressing on my uterus, I mentioned that my head was starting to hurt and that I felt more blood coming out. Instead of dismissing it as something normal, as others might have, Savanah immediately checked me again, and that's when I began to hemorrhage. She remained calm and composed, explaining to my husband and me that a team of people would be coming in and reassuring us to stay calm.
Because of her quick response, the doctors, residents, and nurses were able to act swiftly and save my life. I'm here today, alive and recovering well, because of Savanah's incredible care. Even after the hemorrhage, she continued to provide excellent care until I was transferred to the mother and baby unit. I will forever be grateful for her compassion, professionalism, and life-saving instincts.
