Not only does Sue give compassionate care to each and every patient, she also buys clothes to have in the ER. The clothes are used for our less fortunate patients who may need a clean pair of socks or pants & for patients who come in that have needed to have clothing cut off. I have also witnessed her praying with patients & their families. She also makes cards and starts collections for coworkers who have had an accident, illness or family death. Sue is very kind and generous soul.

Caring Spirit—Sue cares for each and every patient she comes in contact with as if they were a family member.
