The patient has been in the hospital a few times due to Churg-Straus and other illnesses each time Andrea has been there ALWAYS with a smile, a hand, and a warm comforting heart. She is the sweetest, most helpful, loving, soft spoken person you will ever meet. She is always helping her colleagues, her patients and even their family members. She makes you feel right at home like she's another member of your family.

I am 23 years old and have a very tough road and hospital is pretty scary place to be -- well I should say WAS a scary place. Andrea comes in with a smile and a great attitude and always takes whatever fears or worries I have away in just a few seconds. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful woman taking care of me. Feels just like this my own Mom taking care of me at home! Andrea even comes in to check on me when she's not even my nurse! She's extremely passionate about her job and deserves this award. Without a doubt, Kaiser is lucky to have her!
