We, the family, could not be more thankful for the work Sameer does every day and night, fearlessly serving others without putting himself first.
Psalm 30:2 “Lord God, we called for help, and you helped me”

Sameer arrived for his shift on F-9, instantly got the handoff report, and started patient rounds. Sameer was God-sent. Very respectful and professional. My boyfriend’s mom was given a bed bath and a shampoo cap for the first time since she got into her room. Sameer helped her get situated, repositioned her, checked all her equipment, pulled her up in bed, and made her comfortable. She was the most comfortable I have seen her, and she instantly looked peaceful and relaxed. 

UAMS is very blessed to have Sameer as an RN. I have worked in healthcare for 7 years. I know there are differences in days, nights, and shifts. You must have the heart, passion, and patience to work in healthcare. It isn’t just a paycheck, it’s a ministry and a calling. I love what I do and the care I can provide every day. 

One evening, I witnessed firsthand the very heart of what I love doing – just like Sameer – a beacon of light! Sameer talked me through the questions I asked concerning my boyfriend’s mom. Did everything I asked him to do for mom. Rounded often and checked in. We, the family, could not be more thankful for the work Sameer does every day and night, fearlessly serving others without putting himself first. Sameer exemplifies what a real-life hero is, and we truly would not feel the comfort we did if it weren't for such skilled and caring individuals as Sameer. 

I hope this message gives UAMS a lot to be proud of, because "Thank You" will never be enough for the history you, as a hospital, are part of today, without RNs like Sameer. While he saves lives, may God take care of everything else. Once again, we, the family, are grateful, thankful, and blessed that Sameer came into our lives and provided such exceptional care.
