As nurses we many times use our voices to speak for those who need us the most, including those who have no voice and those who have no choice. The nurse we are honoring here today is described this way, Hellie is the most caring and sincere kind of nurse! I have seen her treat patients with the utmost respect and kindness. She always engages them in conversation to learn about them as a person.
Hellie also speaks loudly for those who have no voice and ultimately no choice. She gives countless hours and effort on pet rescue, spending her own money and resources to save abandoned pets. She organizes fundraisers to raise money and awareness for this cause that is so dear to her heart. You see, compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character. Hellie Smith is not only an extraordinary nurse; she is a true humanitarian.
