Cathy Barker is an amazing nurse. She tended to my fiancée as if he was her family. She made us laugh and she is also very intelligent. She was able to answer our questions and was very patient. And when we asked her for water, she even offered it to me, the visitor. Not only does she care for her patients, but she also cares for their families and loved ones. Cathy Barker made us feel warm and very welcomed to Los Angeles General Medical Center.
