Felipe noticed that we didn't have proper pillows to rest on, and quickly provided us with pillows, ensuring our comfort during this challenging time.
During my twin sister's stay in the Neuro-ICU, there was a particular night that truly exemplified the exceptional care provided by Felipe. It was a challenging evening, with my sister experiencing a decline in her condition.

Throughout the night, our nurse went above and beyond to ensure my sister's comfort and reassurance. Despite the high-stress environment, he maintained a compassionate and empathetic demeanor, taking the time to explain procedures, answer our questions, and address our concerns. He understood the importance of open communication and made us feel involved in her care every step of the way. Amidst the turmoil, what truly set him apart was his thoughtfulness and attention to our needs as family members. He anticipated that we would be staying the night by my sister's side, and without us even having to ask, he brought us drinks to keep us refreshed.

Additionally, Felipe noticed that we didn't have proper pillows to rest on, and quickly provided us with pillows, ensuring our comfort during this challenging time. Our nurse's commitment to providing exceptional care, his attentiveness, and his hospitable nature made an immense difference in our experience. He demonstrated that the DAISY Award's values of extraordinary compassion and patient-centered care are not just words, but a way of life for him.

What was truly remarkable was that even amidst the medical urgency, he found the time and thoughtfulness to go above and beyond, ensuring that not only my sister but also our family felt cared for and supported. His unwavering dedication to our well-being left an indelible mark on our hearts and reminded us of the profound impact a single individual can have on the lives of patients and their families. His compassionate and holistic approach to care serves as an inspiration to others and embodies the spirit of excellence in nursing. Thank you, Felipe, for all you do.
