One of our patients had a life-threatening event take place at our hospital. Tara not only assisted with patient care but went over and beyond with updating and comforting the family. Tears were shed and many hugs were given. She stayed hours past her shift just to comfort the children and other family members of the patient. The compassion that Tara had that day and every day is an inspiration. Her enthusiastic attitude and caring personality should be recognized. I am personally grateful and blessed to work with such a wonderful person.
