When I got admitted to the base hospital after emergency surgery, I met Lt Kylee Bolinder. It was different for me to sleep without my CPAP machine and the hospital equipment available did not work. I was able to get my personal CPAP machine mailed to the hospital and no one could locate it. Lt Bolinder went above and beyond to track down my package and get it released to me. I have been a patient now for over 3 weeks and the ability to have my CPAP has been a miracle for my health and welfare.

Lt Bolinder was able to get me daily escort to go outside and get sunshine with fresh air and it has helped with anxiety and feelings of depression. Also, Lt Bolinder was able to help inform my orthopedic team that a medication was too strong and it was affecting my liver. Her input and observation has greatly affected and improved my quality of care. I am extremely grateful for her excellent skill and compassion. She listened to my needs and ensured they were met. She’s a hard worker and dedicated to her patients. She is a great leader and she sets great standard of professionalism.

Lt Bolinder is one of the special nurses I will not forget. Her friendliness, her compassion and her passion for patient care is unsurpassed. I have been admitted to different hospitals and I have never experienced the type of care and attention Lt Bolinder provided or gave me. I felt like I’m part of her family and she was always checking on me and my needs without asking. I have also witnessed her patiently show the same passion of compassion to her other patients by helping elderly patients walk and taking me and them to our various hospital tests and appointments. She is truly one of a kind and one of the best assets of this hospital. She truly needs to be recognized and commended for her attitude and her energetic and compassionate care. I appreciate her very much and I’m very grateful to her.
