She immediately updated me and then let me do small things to assist her.
I received a call while working in the hospital that my son was in an accident. When I arrived at his bedside, he was unrecognizable, and Michelle Shaffer did the most extraordinary thing - she made me a part of his care team. She immediately updated me and then let me do small things to assist her. While we waited for an ultrasound and a CT scan, she held my hand and made me feel less alone. That one act brought hope where there wasn’t any. She went above and beyond to ensure he received the best care possible, and for that, I am truly grateful. Michelle embodies the philosophy of serving with love and excellence.
