March 2017 Honoree
vanessa del rio, RN
I am a cancer patient and been getting treatments at St. Luke's Global. This has been my 18th admission. I insist on being admitted at the South Wing. However, during the admission, I met Vanessa, who welcomed me with a sincere smile and reassurance. She said that she understood and respected my decision to move to the South Wing once a room is available. In spite of my moodiness, Vanessa kept her composure and held my hand when my chemo started. She was very friendly and supportive. Because of her, I decided to remain at the North Wing even if I was informed of a vacancy at the South Wing. Vanessa possesses the qualities of an effective and efficient nurse. She is very empathetic and compassionate.
Thank you, Vanessa, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
