I am writing to nominate Renata on the inpatient rehab unit for recognition due to the outstanding care she provided to my brother during his recent recovery from a renal transplant at Lutheran General Hospital. All the nurses who have cared for him during his stay have been fantastic. Still, Renata has stood out for her compassion, professionalism, and unwavering dedication, which have made an immense difference in his healing process and brought comfort to our entire family during a challenging time.

From the moment we met her, Renata stood out for her warm and caring demeanor. She consistently performed her duties with a genuine smile, which helped ease my brother’s anxiety and made him feel truly cared for. Her patience was remarkable—whether answering our many questions or taking the time to ensure my brother understood his treatment plan. She never made us feel rushed. Her attentiveness to his needs, both medical and emotional, demonstrated a level of care that exceeded expectations.

What also impressed me was her intelligence and skill. She clearly has a deep understanding of her role and applied it with confidence, ensuring my brother received the best possible care during his rehabilitation. Whether it was monitoring his progress, adjusting his treatment, or offering encouragement, she approached every task with a blend of expertise and kindness that was rare and truly special.

This nurse exemplifies the qualities of an exceptional healthcare professional, and I would like to see her recognized for her efforts. She is a credit to Lutheran General Hospital and a blessing to the patients and families she serves.
