The Oncology Unit at Clinton - St. Johns (Sparrow) has an extraordinary team of devoted professionals. Each nurse has helped me with their own unique healing touch. Their teamwork is a model for others to follow! They are so smart, communicative, and astute at their tasks! They respect each other and it shows! From Day 1, they had my instant trust! They make me feel safe, happy, secure, relaxed, and content. They treat my chemo 3x month. But they treat me as a person so much more! They answer the phones and give advice for the side effects that come along with chemo. They are so positive, kind, and helpful. They supply warm blankets, warmer conversations, and cheerful sweet smiles that brighten my day! Chemo Day is a joy, it's strange to say, but I look forward to it! The atmosphere is joyful and extremely clean. Each nurse treats my humanity, not just my condition. They are so kind, helpful, and supportive as I navigate this ovarian cancer, looking for Grace each day. They've changed my life for the better! They're outstanding! I've been blessed by their outstanding skills in Nursing! They all deserve this award! They've been the recipe for my success under the direction of Dr. Ali Ahmed. Thank you!
