The wife of a Veteran commended Alisa on her compassion for both her and her husband. She stated the following, "My husband was suffering from some delirium and paranoia, and one night I couldn't be at the hospital. My husband told me Alisa stayed with him and talked until he fell asleep. This made him feel at ease and less scared." This act of kindness demonstrated by Alisa gave reassurance to the Veteran and his wife. The wife felt comfortable leaving her husband in Alisa's capable hands. The Veteran and his wife said they loved Alisa's caring and compassionate attitude.
