Diane has been the focus of one letter after another where patients describe her as "helpful, reassuring, and efficient", "the best", "awesome", and "a true professional."
One patient wrote, "Diane Atkinson is a wonderful person. I will never forget her love and kindness." Another wrote, "I was most impressed with Diane Atkinson, the center and the staff are top-notch!" Another wrote, "Diane is outstanding. I have seen many over the last few weeks and she far exceeds anyone I have come in contact with. Professional, knowledgeable, courteous, warm and real. The best of the best. Overall the operation is top-notch."
I have seen Diane teach her patients, care for her patients, and cry with her patients. Nothing is too much to ask of her when caring for them or committing to our hospital and the oncology program. If I needed a nurse to care for me or someone I loved, I would want it to be Diane. She lives and breathes the essence of compassionate care and nursing excellence, not because she has to but because it is who she is and what she believes in!
