July 2014 Honoree
teri hernandez, RN
As I was making rounds on the CLC, a family stopped me to tell me Teri was "a wonderful nurse" and that they were so happy to have a RN like that helping their father/husband during their family's difficult time of saying goodbye to him. Although it was a touching and difficult time for the family, they acknowledged, thanked and were even in awe of the comfort they saw Teri give their dad/husband. Teri gave gentle, compassionate, competent care to the Hospice resident and included the family in her care environment. Her care will help the family remember the veteran's last days as a way to say a respectful and dignified goodbye. The family said "thank you for having Teri as a nurse for us" and I want to say thank you to Teri on behalf of the family and the hospice CLC.
Thank you, Teri, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
