Kendall was nominated by a patient’s loved one who shared how he provided care with deep compassion, dignity, and respect — not only for the patient, but for the entire family.

“Kendall treated her like family and was with us every step of the way, including her final moments,” the nomination read. “He was kind, gentle, intelligent, and kept us informed the entire time. In my 30 years in healthcare, I’ve never known a nurse like Kendall.”
