Andi exemplifies each of the six criteria listed above. My ex-husband came to CCU incredibly ill. My daughter stayed bedside each day and developed an immediate connection with her. Helping her be more comfortable with her dad's care. Andi provided thoughtful education to keep us all informed. As soon as my ex regained consciousness, Andi began steps to have him extubated and begin his recovery. We are extremely grateful to have Andi as part of our care team!
