Maria consistently exemplifies outstanding nursing professionalism. Her positive attitude and unwavering dedication are evident in her daily interactions as she maintains a warm and welcoming demeanor regardless of the challenges the facility may face.

In April 2025, during a critical period when the facility was navigating an internal plan of correction following the unexpected departure of the Facility Administrator, Maria stepped in without hesitation. Her involvement was instrumental in successfully addressing and implementing the corrective measures.

Beyond her administrative contributions, Maria is a hands-on team player who regularly supports her colleagues on the treatment floor to ensure the delivery of high-quality patient care. She is recognized as the facility’s champion cannulator, serving as a vital resource in cannulation, new accesses, and guiding patients toward the removal of CVCs. Her expertise and commitment make her an invaluable asset to the team and the patients she serves.
