Hewan came outside, introduced herself, sat next to me, and comforted me.
My husband was in the ED after passing out and hitting his head. When we got to the ED I was told I couldn’t visit, as the ED was not excepting visitors due to lack of capacity, and was told to wait outside until the census was down. I was distraught, worried, confused, and angry.

Hewan came outside, introduced herself, sat next to me, and comforted me. She was so genuinely kind and caring. She assured me I would be able to visit soon. A few minutes after she left, she came back out with the charge nurse and I was able to see my husband. It meant the world to us.

Even though we weren’t in Hewan‘s district, she came to visit, brought us a warm blanket, and helped out our nurse, by starting fluids and giving my husband Tylenol. She went above and beyond for us and her colleagues. I was so impressed and my husband felt very well taken care of. Thank you!
