Teri was caring for a patient whose goal was to see his daughter get married. On her day off, Teri came in with all the things to make the wedding a success in only a few days. The bride had a wedding dress Teri borrowed from another nurse. There were flowers, cake, music, and memories made that day. A dying father supported by staff to walk his daughter down the aisle. She embodies the hospice heart with each patient. She has an uncanny ability to tell things like they are while remaining professional and compassionate. Whether by lending a helping hand to her team or advocating for a patient. Teri truly goes above and beyond for every patient on every shift.
