Jenny assured me that as I progressed, I would get stronger and feel better.
I would like to wholeheartedly nominate nurse Jennifer S for the DAISY Award. Each morning, she greets us with a warm smile and a positive attitude, assuring us that everything will go smoothly in the cardiac rehab center. With diligence and kindness, she goes over everything and goes above and beyond with her care. What truly sets Jennifer apart is the way that she makes every patient feel valued and motivated. Her compassionate presence and encouraging demeanor inspire us to want to get better, not just physically but emotionally as well. It is with deep gratitude and admiration that we nominate her for this award. She truly makes a difference.

I would like to acknowledge Jenny in cardiopulmonary rehab. When I first started the program, I was unsure of my ability. Jenny assured me that as I progressed, I would get stronger and feel better. She was a very powerful influence on my journey, and I'm thankful to have had her in my corner. You are fortunate to have her on your team. Her kindness and her attitude should not be overlooked. She is the right person for this position!

I was having problems with the sticky pads as they were leaving red welts on my skin, which hurt and were constant. Nurse Jenny worked with me after she saw the problem. First, she gave me a sensitive skin patch, which only gave slight Improvement to my skin. Then she gave me packets of wipes, which I used to wipe my skin where the electro pads were on my chest. The result was fantastic!  She also has a friendly way about herself and is always smiling.

It was such a pleasure to have her full attention. I started the program after my stent was placed. I was very weak and weighed 170 lb. The team has put me through different levels and settings of exercise over the period, and I slowly picked up energy and lost weight, and am now down to 154 lb.  Thanks a lot to the whole team, but specifically Jenny, who motivated me over time to overcome my weakness and gain strength.  Thanks to everyone, and God bless them.
