I knew she was in the best care. Chris made me feel so at ease that he would be there all night watching her.
Chris went above and beyond his call of duty as a nurse to ensure my grandma was well taken care of. My grandma had an incident in the hospital which scared our family greatly. I wanted to spend the night with her to ensure she was okay all night, after speaking with Chris on the phone, I knew she was in the best care. Chris made me feel so at ease that he would be there all night watching her. He updated me through the night on my grandma's progress, this is something that I cannot express enough families need when their loved one is in the hospital. He exemplified every role you would ever want and need in a nurse. I strongly believe my grandma is still with us in large part due to Chris.

In a time when nursing is largely understaffed everywhere, he embodied the work of multiple nurses and never once lost his amazing ability to care for her like she was his own family. We need more nurses in the field like Chris. Chris was highly knowledgeable and had plans in place had my grandma's condition deteriorated. We cannot thank him enough for the care she received and feel so thankful he was the nurse we were blessed with. May God continue to bless him and allow him to take such excellent care of all of his patients.
