Gail not only makes a huge, lasting impression on every single one of her patients but also forms close bonds with family members throughout her patient's stay. Holistic nursing has been the cornerstone of Gail's nursing practice and her patients are always singing their accolades of her. "I couldn't have given birth without Gail", "Gail made me feel like I had a family at Castle", and "I am forever indebted to Gail for providing me with compassionate support during my labor and again at discharge". Gail goes out of her way to make her patients feel special; whether it's a warm, tender touch during the labor process or the compassionate way she interacts with the patient's family. Whenever I visit with a patient of hers I am in awe of the spiritual presence I feel in the room! Gail lives the Castle mission every day of "Sharing God's love" by providing not only exceptional nursing skills but also caring for the whole patient in a way every nurse should strive to achieve. I feel honored to work with Gail!
