Savanna Alvarez, RN, BSN

My Mom is a hospice patient here at Ripon Hospital. My mom has had such great care from all staff, but Savanna went above and beyond for my Mom. My mom always would talk about how kind and calming Savanna is. My mom would tell me and my family about how Savana would stay with her at night and talk to her about TV shows/movies/life. I stayed my first night at the hospital with my mom on 3/19. Mom had a bad night, she had a lot of pain. Savanna tried everything she could do to help my mom. Not only does Savanna do excellent nursing she also has an amazing loving heart. 3/19 my mom spoke with Savanna telling her what a wonderful nurse she is. She wanted Savanna to never forget how great of a nurse she is. I know my mom would have wanted Savanna to have a DAISY Award. My mom cannot write so I will do that for her. I will never forget seeing Savanna rubbing my moms arm and calming her down. Not only did she comfort my mom, but she comforted me as well. During the night and the morning, Savanna would listen to me, give me hugs, and rub my back. Her heart is loving, warm, and so so kind. During the night my mom wanted her favorite drink before she would pass. Savanna brought a bag full of Snapple. She didn't need to do that for my mom, but she did. Savanna goes above and beyond for her patients. She is dear to our hearts. Thank you, Savanna
