There are no amount of words or gratitude our family can offer to say thank you. Thank you for being a voice for our mom. Letting her be her free spirit, supporting her through the long, tough days and nights, making her smile and laugh through the pain, and being a guiding light of hope as she perseveres through her recovery. Our family is blessed and grateful to have people like you on her team and in all of our lives. You will forever be in our hearts and leave a mark on us all. Thank you!

Mike is a remarkably skilled and knowledgeable critical care nurse, a strong patient advocate, a mentor and educator to new nurses, a preceptor, a charge nurse, and a peer that anybody would be lucky to work alongside. Mike is a compassionate, empathetic, and supportive ICU nurse. He is diligent with his work and strives to provide patients with optimal care. As one of his colleagues, I have witnessed this firsthand. He is a patient advocate and someone patients can put their trust in without hesitation. Mike is an exceptional example of what it means to be a nurse.
