Tara Donaldson is a natural connector, often finding both the best in people and the best ways to bond with her patients. She seeks opportunities to personalize care like checking in on her patients, encouraging and educating them about their pain medications with each interaction, meeting some of the most basic needs like a good snack before bed, and making them laugh with her great sense of humor. Tara’s patient described that “she made me feel like I truly had a friend with me” and “people like her being around gave me hope and the desire to fight.” Congrats to Tara for really making a difference for this person with your excellent care!
