I would like to recognize Raylee, our nurse who cared for my father in the ICU. He was there for approximately 6 days with several large blood clots in his lungs and a DVT in his leg. During this time, the outcome for my father was unknown but Raylee was there for my family in so many different ways. Every time she entered the room she did so with a warm smile asking how he was doing, but also how we were doing. She was patient and kind as we asked 1,000 questions about my father’s care and prognosis. She kept us updated and informed along the way of any updates from his amazing doctor and any changes in his course of therapy. During a time of uncertainty and anxiety, Raylee was a “ray of sunshine”. I will never forget her being there for my father and our family. Thank you, Raylee! I am also pleased to say my father is home and recovering nicely.

Thank you, Raylee, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
