In addition to providing extraordinary care to both of my parents, Sarah’s bright attitude and compassion have always made a difficult situation so much better.
Over the past year, my parents have been hospitalized over six times between the two of them. They are 87 and have been together since they were 14 years old. Both are dealing with complex end-of-life medical conditions.
We have had the great fortune to have Sarah as our RN on multiple visits. In addition to providing extraordinary care to both of my parents, Sarah’s bright attitude and compassion have always made a difficult situation so much better. She does this not just for my parents but also for us as caregivers.
Sarah is able to connect to each of my parents and talk to them in such a way as to make the experience so much less scary and intimidating. Her memory and knowledge of each of them across their multiple visits is extraordinary. Sarah always goes the extra mile for them, whether it is an extra pillow, answering questions, or just being there to listen. She also brings comfort by remembering them each as individuals and as a married couple for over 60 years.
Thank you so much, Sarah, for all that you do, not only for my parents but for all of the patients who are lucky to have you as their nurse.

My dad is the primary caretaker for my mom. They’ve been married for 65 years. As my mom’s health has declined, my dad places all his focus on her needs. That’s why it was difficult for him to make his own health a priority. When admitted, he asked me about how my mom was doing more than about his own situation. As a result, he was anxious to get home.
From the first time Sarah stepped into his room, she was cheerful and attentive and put my dad at ease. Sarah did a great job explaining the process, what meds they were giving him, and why, and providing as much information as possible. My dad is very analytical, so having the information put him at ease.
I’m sure Sarah and all the nurses are under stress managing difficult situations. However, without exception, Sarah walked into the room with a smile and a positive disposition. Given that my dad saw Sarah more often than the doctors, she became his anchor during his stay. Thank you so, so much for Sarah and the entire staff. You’re all guardian angels.
