From careful monitoring and assessments Cathy is able to anticipate the patient's needs. These needs may vary from a fresh drink to being ambulated to calling a Rapid Response. Cathy advocates for her patients while grasping for any opportunity to learn and improve her skills. Cathy puts her heart into everything she does and is always positive, fostering a great atmosphere for her patients and coworkers.
Cathy Brown brings joy and laughter with her every day. It touches my heart to watch and listen as Cathy goes from one patient to the next focusing on their individual needs, worries and concerns. She not only provides support, teaches, reassures and comforts the patients but their family as well. She quickly addresses needs with their doctor. Her critical thinking skills go beyond hospitalization to discharge. She also shares her knowledge and experience with students. She does all of this so easily because it comes directly from her heart.
