Angela was my mom's nurse on 6 Main. My parents loved her. She asked if we wanted to move to a bigger room because the room she was in was small. I said, "my dad would love that only if you're still going to be her nurse!" All the nurses are very nice on this floor they had but they really loved Angela. Thanks for giving this opportunity to thank our nurse. A nurse's job is not easy. The things they have to do with their patients and the compassion they show is a nice thing to have when you're going through hard times. That's another thing Angela was good at. She didn't just care for my mom, but she also looked over all of us and made sure we were ok and she'd talk to me in the hallway to see how we were all holding up and make sure we didn't worry too much. You could just tell she genuinely cared.

Nurse Angela Erdmann took care of my dad while he received rounds of chemo treatment in August.
My family and I were new to this process and a bit nervous. Angela was such a blessing to him and our family. We couldn't have asked for a better nurse in this time of uncertainty. She was extremely professional and empathetic, and I could sense she genuinely cared about my dad as a person, as well as a patient.
My dad has since had surgery (tumor removal) and is recovering well. I credit that to my dad's strength and the amazing care he received from Angela and the team on 6 main. Angela is truly a special person and an even better nurse. Thank you!
