My care on the 5th Floor after my knee replacement was superb!  

All your nurses and techs are kind, caring professionals. Michael took care of me for three days.  I was medicated, so a little out of it. During my stay, he made sure I was comfortable. He gave me info regarding what to expect as the nerve block wore off. I appreciate being well informed and assured. He said I would receive all the pain meds, ice, etc. to keep me comfortable.

When my husband died in 2017, a family from church gave me a gold miraculous medal of the Blessed Mother.  I put it on that day and never take it off.  As time went on, I put my wedding band on the chain.  

As you know, I had to remove it and put it in security.  They sent it up from security on my discharge day.  In the "to do" of getting me to the van, I forgot my medal.  When I arrived at Premier, Michael called me.  He said he would hold it at the nurses' desk. I told him I'd have a friend pick it up.

That evening, Michael appeared in my room at Premier. He told me he knew how precious this was to me and didn't want to take a chance it would disappear.  Michael lives down near Marco.  I was in Premier North.  He went far out of his way to do this.  He is obviously a nurse who cares for the whole person.  Who knew caring for a patient goes beyond just their medical needs!

Thank you!

This is Michael's second DAISY Award!
