Patient Recognition

"Cadi is excellent. She always came into my room with a smile and a great sense of humor. Cadi lit up my evening when she walked into my room. She goes above and beyond with her tasks. She is kind and gentle and listens to all my concerns. Cadi didn't mind my constant questions. She never acted annoyed with my humor. he went above and beyond with every aspect of care. I wish all nurses were like Cadi. My negative thoughts about my health go away when she's with me. Cadi, you're the best nurse I've ever had. You were professional, personable, humorous, patient, kind, and knowledgeable answering all of my questions. You're amazing and made my hospital stay joyful. A patient in the hospital is usually scared and in a lot of pain. When you walked into my room my pain level dropped. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being you. I wish every patient could experience you as their nurse." - From the patient reviews submitted on MyChart. 

Colleague Recognition

"I want to give a big shoutout to Cadi for her exemplary work as a nurse, especially during a challenging assignment I had the privilege to observe. I was floated from another unit to be a patient safety attendant for Cadi and her patient. Cadi is a strong individual who rolled with the punches (sometimes literal punches) hour after hour and remained compassionate to even the hardest patients while being open to learning and asking for help. Cadi truly embodies what it means to be a nurse. Nursing today- and I expect moving forward- will only prove more difficult as mental health challenges continue to rise. There hasn't been a harder time to be a nurse! I am grateful for the example she set for me and the care she gives to others. I have been a nurse for 8 years and it is nurses like Cadi that give me hope to continue on and challenge me to do better. Thank you, Cadi, for your incredible work and for the positive impact you have on our patients and team!" - Kelli Wahl RN
