Ruth was nominated more than once this quarter. One patient said, “Ruth has a heart for being a nurse. She took such good care of me. For every pill I took, Ruth explained exactly what it was for. She always went above and beyond, and on discharge day, she took so much time with us. She is top-notch, and the hospital is blessed to have her. “

Another said, “Ruth is the kind of nurse every patient should have. There was no question I asked that she didn’t answer in the simplest form we could understand. We shared stories of our love of yorkies and she made me feel like I’d known her for years.”

One more family member said, "Ruth went above and beyond to save my mom and comfort us at the same time. We appreciate so much about her, but mainly her kindness and compassion."
