She just made each and every day fun to get well. I will always remember her and her smiles.
Tammy went above and beyond to help my mom and to help me do what was best for her. I can’t thank her enough. Unfortunately, my mom was moved to the ICU, so I don’t have any more information about Tammy.

I entered the hospital through the ER. Very ill with pneumonia and new heart problems I didn’t know I had. Everyone was so good to me and finally took me to the third floor for the rest of my week's stay. There were many nurses, all very fun and special, who made my care and getting well go very fast.
But one nurse really caught my attention, Tammy, very smart, very fun, humble, and kind. Tammy, younger than I, was unselfish. In every way, my "go to girl." She seems to recognize my needs, like getting a shower. She gave me such confidence in my ability to get well, every day, greeting me with a big smile. She also did nice things like finding a better cup of coffee, just little things every day, above and beyond.
She just touched my heart. When my daughter would call for updates, she was very reassuring to her. Tammy became like family. I want good things to fall her way. I so hope she is recognized for the fine person that she is, truly dedicated and not just to me. I watched her with other patients, nurses, and doctors. So behind the scenes, but getting it all done. She makes tiny mistakes and laughs at herself. She just made each and every day fun to get well. I will always remember her and her smiles. Thank you!

Tammy was the sweetest. Made me feel special and pretty. Her bedside manner deserves this recognition. Her smile was very welcoming. I am a caregiver and was in here for myself, and noticing how her commitment and respect for new patients shine through. Knowledgeable. Pleasant. Beautiful.

She was very thoughtful and considered my care. She would make me laugh while watching Harry Potter for like the ninth time. She was a very nice woman.
