Lizzie knows what it's like to be on the other side of the hospital bed. After being treated for leukemia twice as a child and teen, she now cares for patients on our hematology inpatient floor, helping them feel understood in moments that can be overwhelming and uncertain.
When asked what she loves most about her work, Lizzie shared:
“This job is the absolute best. I have the best team to work with too. But I also love working with patients that have the same kind of cancer as I had. It helps me understand and help them on a different level where I know what it is like to be the patient.”
During National Nursing Assistant Week, we celebrate Lizzie and all of our Health Care Assistants. They are there for patients through long days, difficult moments, and important milestones, offering comfort, kindness, and support when it matters most.
Thank you to our HCAs for the care you provide and for helping our patients feel seen, understood, and cared for every day.
