"My friend was very ill, yet Kasey approached her care with remarkable skill, compassion, and attentiveness. She explained every step, answered questions thoroughly, and made sure the patient felt safe and secure. As a practitioner myself, I would be honored to work alongside Kasey. She is the kind of nurse any physician would be grateful to have by their side — sharp, attentive, compassionate, and unwaveringly patient-focused.”

Kasey McCarty has been a nurse for 15 years. She became a nurse because her mother was a nurse, and when her father was diagnosed with cancer, she knew this was the path to follow. “I wanted to make a difference and help people. This was so nice for the nomination, but this is just what we do every day,” said McCarty.
