When she was near the end of her battle with cancer, a nurse would sing to her each day—bringing her peace and taking away her fear, even if just for five minutes.

Her empathetic presence transforms the care experience, reminding everyone on our team of the profound impact kindness and genuine connection can have on healing.'
