Two days after my 18 year old daughter was admitted to 2C Rehab with an acquired traumatic brain injury, extensive shearing in the left temporal region, she was extremely agitated and combative. Susan was amazing! She was able to calm my daughter without medications! Susan sat with her, talking softly and giving her peanut butter cups! When my daughter was asleep, Susan spent time with me calming me (she had an extra patient that night)! Every shift Susan worked, she made a special effort to make sure that my daughter and I were okay. Susan even remembered my daughter's favorite candy and brought her a bag after her weekend off!
Susan has dedicated 31 years to working night shifts in Rehab with very difficult patients and fragile families. She is always caring, compassionate, and cheerful, but mostly supportive in a way that makes you know in your heart everything will be okay. Susan has a passion for what she does and sets a stellar example for all of us to strive for.
