My grandmother had an angiogram and stent placement at your facility. After surgery, she was sent up to the Cardiovascular Intervention floor to recover. There we met Christa, our nurse. We were not only in awe of her dedication to my grandmother's carebut also her knowledge. Christa went above and beyond the call of any nurse. She not only made sure my grandmother understood what was going on, but also helped to make sure I was comfortable and informed so I could be there for my grandmother. Christa provided excellent nursing care and because of her and our doctor, my grandmother makes special trips from her home in North Carolina just to get her cardiac care at your facility. In my grandmother's words, "they saved my life, so what better care could I get anywhere else. Plus, maybe the next time I have a stent, I'll get Christa."
