Ally Holub took care of my mother as a CNA during a previous hospitalization a couple of years ago. We were anxious and fearful about the outcome of the situation, as my mother was in the end stage of her disease. Ally provided compassionate care for our mother, spoke tenderly and respectfully, and even found an extra soft flannel pillowcase for her. We were immediately put at ease while mom was in her care, feeling a relief from the fear that often comes when in the hospital with a loved one.
Just recently, my father ended up being admitted to Trinity, and after a few days was transferred to a different unit. We were introduced to his new nurse Ally, and we recognized her immediately as the CNA that had taken care of our mother! We felt an instant sense of relief knowing that our dad would be under the care of Ally. She assured us she would do whatever needed to be done to ensure that our father would have good care. She invited us to call anytime if we wanted to check on him or had concerns, and in turn, promised to call us if he developed any problems.
My family and I are very pleased that Ally continued her education to become a nurse. We know she will continue to provide excellent care to her patients like she did for both our parents. Ally is an extraordinary healthcare provider and we think she is a DAISY Award winner! Thank you, Ally.

Ally was one of my mother's nurses after surgery. She was very kind and helpful to my mom. My mom did not want to "bother" the nurses, but Ally always assured her to call if she needed anything. Ally was encouraging and had a positive outlook on her duties. She has found her calling as a nurse.
