My mother had the pleasure of being under Maria's care during her recent stay at the hospital, and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with her professionalism, knowledge, and kind-heartedness. Maria's commitment to her work was evident from the first moment I met her. She was always on top of her game, making sure my mother received the proper medications at the right time and was comfortable throughout her stay.

Whenever I had questions about her treatment plan, Maria was more than happy to explain things in detail, making sure I fully understood what was happening and what our options were. What stood out most to me was Maria's sweet and caring personality. She always had a smile on her face and went out of her way to make my mother and our entire family feel comfortable and at ease. Her positive attitude and gentle demeanor were truly uplifting during what was a difficult time for all of us.

Overall, Maria is an exceptional nurse who deserves recognition for her outstanding work, care, knowledge when we asked questions and overall sweet personality. She is a true asset to the University of Toledo Medical Center, and we are grateful for the care that she provided my mother during her stay.

Note: This is Maria's 2nd DAISY Award!
