I remember many courteous and kind nurses. These generous souls always had my back. Many nurses brought me a warm blanket or helped order my food. One nurse sat at my bedside while I wept having learned that my medical saga meant that I had missed my daughter’s 11th birthday.

Our daughter was admitted to Baird 5 and her nurse, Tyler, was amazing. His compassion and care was not exclusive to our baby and he took the time to care for our concerns and needs as well as hers. It was her first hospital stay since she was born and she was terrified and struggled to understand what was happening and Tyler patiently explained everything taking his time to reassure her every step of the way.
