Kathy received two nominations from one patient and one family member.  

The family member wrote, “Kathy has been an exemplary nurse. She has always been there to help with a smile. My husband’s stay was made better by her care. The whole staff was great, making his stay so much better. I want to give kudos to your whole staff, but most importantly, I want to thank Mrs. Kathy. Please never let any of your staff leave.” 

A patient wrote, “I would like to thank Ms. Kathy for being my nurse and becoming my friend. She healed me holistically. I am 39 years old, and I first came to rehab when I had my leg amputated. I had lost all hope in life. Ms. Kathy was God sent. She was that listening ear. She was non-judgmental and I was able to talk to her freely. She let me vent. I was able to talk, and she listened, and I felt like she cared about what and why I was feeling this way on my darkest days. She was my hope in life. This is Ms. Kathy’s calling; she needs to keep on nursing because she is making a difference. Words can’t express the gratitude I am feeling. Thanks.” 

That patient’s sister wrote, “Dear Ms. Kathy, I would like to thank you for helping my sister find her strength and her healthy path. Thank you for taking your time to give her the best care. I would like to say thank you... from the bottom of my heart. You definitely were God sent, and you’re an angel on earth.”
