My father has been at UMC recently (2South) for severe pneumonia and CHF. He was started on the proper treatments and was starting to feel better. The next night of his admission, he started developing severe shortness of breath and hypoxia. Ann Huckaby's rapid intervention and great experience was the key factor for turning things around for him from respiratory failure to back to his baseline breathing status. She has not only detected the problem and worked on reading it in a timely manner, but her demeanor, conduct and professionalism was beyond description. Thank you so much.

As a healthcare professional and hospitalist, I understand the importance of rapid interventions in providing better outcomes for our patients. I also understand that experience varies from one healthcare worker to another and that reflects on the time that early signs of a problem are detected. Ms. Huckaby proves that she has it all, the great experience, knowledge and a great wealth of compassion, care and love for her work. She is a true role model, not only to nurses but anyone who would like to be in the medical field.

I will always be grateful to her. Thank you Ms. Huckaby so much.
