Sako hugged us and just loved on us all the harder. She made a terrible day a little bit more bearable and that is what makes Sako special.
First, Sako is always amazing, and I have no idea how she has not won this prestigious award already. The patient is my Stepdad, and she took fantastic care of him, as she does ALL of her patients every time she puts on her CH badge. He was put on comfort care so she not only cared for him but my grieving Mother and the rest of us. Sako has a very gentle and caring manner about her, in no way is she meek, she is strong and always advocates for what is BEST for the PATIENT. While my Stepdad was dying news reached us that my uncle died that same day. Sako hugged us and just loved on us all the harder. She made a terrible day a little bit more bearable and that is what makes Sako special. She is able to be in the moment with you and I will never forget the kindness, love, and care she gave Dad and my family.
