Alexa was nominated by a patient's dad. The patient had been on the unit for several months and had been through a lot. Alexa made a connection with the patient and developed a relationship with her. She learned when to push the patient and when to stop. Because of this, the patient was able to open up to and learn from Alexa. She was a valuable asset to the patient's recovery.
