Julie exhibits proven superior performance in everything she does. She has high energy and takes the initiative to identify and resolve issues that need attention. Her knowledge and experience allows her to identify care orders that need modification.
Julie took care of my husband both times in the SICU after his double by-pass CABG surgery and, only one week later, after his EVAR surgery. Julie explains everything in detail which puts us at ease during this stressful time. She treats us with respect and no question is a stupid one. Her care and explanation of what my husband was experiencing after the CABG surgery calmed all my fears and made all the difference to me. This was because she was committed to making sure I was informed.
Julie is committed to the best patient care; she loves her job. She is the best advocate for the patient and constantly worked to improve my husband's care and comfort. Julie has very high integrity and is a great asset to the VA health care team. She is a most excellent health care professional.
