Kent's nominator shared: As a nurse, Kent exemplifies the core value of excellence. He is caring and compassionate and excels as a nurse. I have worked with him for almost ten years, and he is not only a good leader but also extremely smart. He picks up whatever task needs to be done. The patients like and respect him. His documentation exceeds standards. He is a joy to be around, and I know that when I’m working with him, his patients are safe and well taken care of, and so is his staff.
