Katie is a wonderful nurse. I came to the hospital with a bowel obstruction and Katie went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and progressing. Specifically, an IV was placed in my arm that caused the alarm to go off whenever I bent my arm. Always with a smile and with concern, she came in to address the issue. Knowing it was important to me to walk, I was encouraged and she walked me a few times a day. Katie focused 100% of the time was on my well-being. She cared very much about my personal comfort. On a particularly warm day, she went out of her way to find a fan for my room. I am so pleased with Katie. I couldn't have been placed with a better caregiver. Amazing.

Katie is the hardest working person I have seen in a long time. She was my nurse on a Sunday and did not have a CNA. She did everything from passing meds to changing my sheets. I had a small anxiety attack and she made sure I was fine and even called the doctor for me. Katie always had a warm and welcoming smile with a gentle voice. She was so attentive to what seems like all the patients and made me feel like my condition mattered and like I wasn't just another sick person. Katie was the best nurse I've had since I have been here. I want to thank her for everything and pray blessings on her.
