We want to acknowledge the outstanding nursing skills, attention to hygiene, patience, and professional manner of April Ridley, who my husband had on two occasions at UCSF, Mission Bay.

I especially appreciated April's sense of humor at appropriate times, which alleviated stress for us. She went the extra mile in delivering her nursing expertise in a manner that genuinely displayed care for the whole patient.

I know UCSF has a very good reputation. I am sending this note to highlight April Ridley's contribution through her expertise and care for the whole person.
