Danielle was nominated by a patient she cared for in the emergency department over the Fourth of July weekend. Despite the busy nature of the emergency department over the holiday weekend, Danielle spent time compassionately caring for each individual patient—far exceeding the expectations of one in particular.

“Danielle clearly explained each procedure,” wrote the patient. “She kept me aware of my condition. She did all this with a pleasant yet professional manner. She told me how to best avoid post-procedure infection in a clear and easy to understand manner.”
