Karime Alvarez provided exceptional care to my mother during her stay at Midland Memorial Hospital. From the moment she came into the room, she treated my mother with genuine compassion, patience, and respect. She was incredibly thorough with my mother’s care and took the time to truly listen to her concerns instead of brushing them aside.

What stood out most was how attentive and engaged Karime was. She asked thoughtful questions about my mother’s previous care, symptoms, and pain so that she could better understand the situation and discuss concerns with the doctor. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure my mother was heard and properly cared for. Karime showed real empathy toward my mother’s pain and made a personal connection with both of us during a stressful time. Karime's kindness and attentiveness made a lasting impact on our family. We deeply appreciate the compassion she showed and the effort she made to advocate for my mother. Nurses like Karime are exactly why the DAISY Award exists.
