I wanted to share this as per my own experience with the team on the 8th Floor. My mother recently passed away on the 8th floor. Room 819. I wish I could give 10 stars to the care that she received through out her short stay of 10 days. The nurses were the kindness plus most caring people that I have encountered. My mother was treated like a "Queen". I could could on & on about the care. I have never encountered this was so peaceful. Our family felt the love & care they gave. We are just overwhelmed! Thank you all you went beyond the call of duty

My mom was recovering from a major surgery. She was put into the CCU unit for several days. Dylan is an outstanding RN! Thank you so much for the great care you gave my mom, Barb.
