Alyssa embodies the essence of nursing and patient care, setting a remarkable example for her colleagues and team members. As both a physician and parent of a child with chronic illness, I have a unique perspective on healthcare delivery systems.

On the night of our admission, Alyssa served as our overnight nurse and left a lasting impression as a caregiver for our daughter. From the moment Alyssa introduced herself, she ensured our well-being with a calm and caring demeanor. Her genuine concern was evident as she attentively listened to the pain management plan and proactively checked in at scheduled intervals. She followed this with additional assessments post-medication to ensure effectiveness. Alyssa’s unwavering presence throughout her shift provided our daughter with a peaceful night. Her commitment to caregiving shines brightly in her interactions with pediatric patients and their often anxious parents.

I sincerely hope this message serves as a recognition of Alyssa’s exceptional dedication, encouraging her to continue making a profound difference in the lives of those she cares for. She significantly enhanced our hospital experience, for which we are deeply grateful.
