My family first met Beth when my husband suffered a cardiac arrest and was in the cardiac ICU. Beth was one of the first nurses to take care of him and became an integral part of his survival during his 7 week stay. During that time, her kindness, sense of humor, compassion, integrity, and superior skill level kept me from despair and made sure my husband survived. I truly believe she is one of the major reasons he is still here with me today. Beth is now a treasured part of our family and always will be. I cannot recommend her enough if you or your loved ones need a highly experienced nurse with the heart of an angel.

I first met Beth when my siblings and I sought practical support in learning how to meet my mom’s physical needs. But Beth shared with us so much more by helping us understand and plan for my mom’s end of life journey. Beth’s guidance and compassion helped us to be more spiritually present during my mom’s last few months, and for that I will be forever grateful to her.

I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am for all that you have done for my husband, myself and the boys since we came to OSU. I have been in the medical field for over 20 years and never have I met someone as genuine, humble, caring, compassionate, intelligent, attentive, patient, and down to earth as you (I seriously could go on and on). When I walked into the ICU, I was broken, devastated, terrified, and numb from everything we were going through. I was wandering lost, but you were the light that shined so that I could see through the darkness. The moment you greeted me in his room, I knew you were his Guardian Angel and that God had placed you in our lives for many reasons. When I wanted to take you home to train my nurses you humbly mentioned that it is easier to give care to one person than several (which is true); but I honestly believe you would have the exact same devotion to each and every one of your patients, no matter what. And I agree that your unit is filled with amazing nurses/staff as we were blessed by each one. You, however, stood out in ways that others didn’t. When you were his nurse, the moment I came on the unit, you were at his door giving me an update and answering any questions. When issues occurred, you always presented it in a way that was positive and reassured me that everything was under control. I could breathe knowing that you were taking care of him. When I didn’t know what to do, you knew the exact words to say to comfort me. You knew how to turn tears into laughter in an instant. Thank you for being you.
