I work down in the vascular lab and my mother-in law was a patient up in Neuro Acute and I just wanted to give a big shout out to her day nurse, Jon. He was so caring, attentive, patient and good natured. Our entire family just wanted to say Thank You to Jon. He was just the kind of nurse I would wish to care for me or any other member of my family.

My husband was in the Neuro Acute unit with Nurse Jon a few days before his death. He was unable to walk, swallow, or speak clearly. Jon was so patient and kind trying to do everything he could to assist him. At times he was extremely agitated, which was heartbreaking to watch him plead to sit in the chair. Jon listened and went above and beyond his job to meet the simple request to sit. Jon showed human compassion and helped him sit for the last time even though this was a very challenging task and required someone to be in the room with him the entire time. He was very compassionate and caring and spent time with my daughter and me listening to or concerns adding a real personal connection to our difficult experience. There were many wonderful nurses and doctors we met during my husband's last stay at Sanford USD but Jon is the AllStar.
