My friend is a recovering staph/stroke patient, admitted to St. Anthony's in March. Stephanie has been wonderful during her entire stay. She is the one who recognized and insisted that my friend needed to return to the ICU when she wasn't quite ready for general care. When she finally made it back to general care, Stephanie was there to welcome her and celebrate her improvements. Stephanie has always taken the time to explain the ever-evolving care process to my friend and her visitors and treats her as a friend as well as a valued patient. She sympathizes with the trials of an extended hospital stay yet brings positive energy, ideas, and actions with her everywhere. I think Stephanie has been the key to making my friend feel like she has control over her life and is looking forward to each day of recovery. Please extend my deepest gratitude to Stephanie for her skill and humanity.
