Jeenah was my primary nurse during my emergency hospitalization in November 2022 for a fall resulting in a hip fracture requiring surgery. She immediately made me feel safe and like I would be well cared for. Any concerns I had during my stay, she addressed immediately with her own medical knowledge, or she sought out whoever could address the concern if she did not have the answer. I witnessed her instructing others in a very educational, positive, and supportive manner. She was always positive, bubbly, and cheerful. Although she was wearing a mask, I would see the kindness and sparkle in her eyes. I knew I was in the care of the best of the best, a real “gem”. On a scale of 1-10, she’d be a “12”!

I felt a bit lost in the middle of this crisis and had to travel to be with my spouse. She made me feel immediately welcome and a part of the team. She attended to my comfort as well as my spouse. She is a lovely, caring, compassionate, and talented young woman, and we have felt so grateful for the help she gave us through this difficult time. She is definitely a role model for both the nursing profession and for humanity. We want to thank her not only for the exemplary personal care and attention she provided for us, but for her commitment to hanging in there and caring for others through a rather precarious time in our medical history, due to COVID.
