August 2024

Kassidy Riekens, RN
Labor & Delivery

“During our many conversations, the loss of one of our twins from our first pregnancy came up. Kassidy navigated the difficult conversation with the utmost compassion and empathy. She asked if we had anything with us we would like her to bring into the OR with us so that we ‘had our boy with us.’ I cannot put into words what this gesture meant to us.”

Elizabeth Horn, RN
SONU

“Elizabeth must have seen me crumbling inside. As I pulled out of sight, I was provided a warm blanket. It felt like the hug I desperately needed. She addressed my growing concerns and contacted the doctor numerous times to consult on options regarding my father-in-law. I witnessed elite professionalism. Elizabeth gave me assurance and I leaned on her words heavily to calm myself.”

Rachel Perkins, RN
ICU

“We were on vacation in Wyoming when my husband was transported to Cheyenne Regional. I was crying in the waiting room because I didn’t know if my husband was going to make it. Before Rachel clocked in, she came over to give me a hug. I really appreciated that and needed a hug. But I didn’t know where we were going to stay. Rachel and her husband let us stay in their camper, gave us a big bag of toiletries and brought us groceries. I’ve always heard of amazing things like this happening to people, but never experienced it for myself. Rachel was amazing the whole time!”
