Kari's compassion, clinical excellence, and personal attention went far beyond what we expected and made a lasting impact on our entire family. I was admitted with stomach pain, including severe pain and confusion. I was frightened and struggling to communicate my needs. From the very moment, Kari treated me not just as a patient, but as a person. She patiently stood at my bedside, reassured me even when I couldn’t stop crying from fear. She helped me feel safe. That moment truly stands out. That simple act reminded us of all that isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, too.

Kari's attention to detail was also exceptional. She coordinated with the CT people and doctors, ensured my pain was well-managed, and always explained medications in a way we could understand. She never seemed rushed, even though we knew the unit was busy. It felt like I was her only patient; that’s how present and caring she was. Thanks to her, I quickly received the medical attention I needed.

My gallbladder was removed, and I left the hospital stronger, calmer, and with knowledge. Kari is everything a nurse should be: smart, compassionate, dedicated, and deeply human. She not only cared for me, but she also cared about me. That made all the difference. Forever our AdventHealth Angel! Forever in debt to you, Kari!
