“Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity” – Hippocrates. Christina truly embodies this statement. Her love for both medicine and humanity shines through in every moment that she cared for my husband. She treats him with respect, dignity, compassion, and unwavering professionalism. Even though my husband is currently unable to open his eyes or communicate well, Christina speaks to him, explaining every step of what she is doing. Her dedication to his care – especially with the challenges of maintaining his oral hygiene – has been nothing short of extraordinary. Christina acts as a true advocate and has been my voice for him when I am not able to be.
