I am writing to express my deepest appreciation for Kaitlyn Kern, whose exemplary care and kindness have significantly impacted my husband and our family during his stay in the critical care unit.

Kaitlyn demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and compassion, going above and beyond the call of duty. Her ability to translate complex medical information into accessible and empathetic communication is a testament to her commitment to patient-centered care.

On days she was not assigned to my husband’s case directly, she took the initiative to check on him regularly and offered her support to both him and our family.
Her knowledge, courteous demeanor, and unwavering dedication did not go unnoticed and provided us with great comfort during a very challenging time.

Kaitlyn's efforts greatly eased our worries and highlighted her genuine commitment to patient care. Her kindness and thoroughness made a significant difference in our experience, and we are profoundly grateful for her presence and support.

Kaitlyn Kern embodies the qualities of excellence and compassion this award seeks to honor. She exemplifies the best qualities of a critical care nurse.
