From the nurse manager who nominated Lisa: “I believe that this family’s words really describe the care that Lisa not only provided their loved one, but all of her other patients. “
While the entire staff was excellent, one person in particular seemed to have a special, above and beyond connection and commitment to my dad which, really made all the difference. Lisa Bjorkland went above and beyond at every turn and exhibited a humane quality rarely found anywhere these days. We will always be grateful to St. Vincent's for having facilitated what seems like a medical miracle in bringing my dad back from the brink of certain death but we will always think of Lisa when we recall the long difficult days of keeping vigil and keeping the faith. There is a special place in heaven for people like Lisa. God bless you all.
Her manager continues with,” While Lisa states she is not quite ready for Heaven yet, We believe she truly deserves to be recognized for the ongoing contributions she makes every day on our unit”.
