Terri is an exemplary nurse and truly demonstrates all the Swedish values every day. She consistently goes above and beyond for her patients and co-workers.

Terri is often one of the first caregivers our patients meet when they join our program. Most patients arrive nervous/hesitant, not knowing what to expect, especially after a sometimes-traumatic cardiac event. Yet, Terri's professional and outgoing personality put our patients at ease, knowing they are in safe and expert hands. She compassionately listens to each patient's individual concerns/goals at their initial visit and develops an individual plan to accommodate all types of patient populations.

She also goes out of her way to research specific education and resources our patients can benefit from, as well as follow up with patients who have had medical setbacks, checking in on their recovery.

Seeing the same patients over an extended period of time in cardiac rehab allows us to build a rapport with each patient, and Terri always connects with our patients on a personal level chatting not just about medical issues, but also how their family is or what weekend hobbies they enjoy.
