"My husband needed aortic valve replacement surgery, which
with his lung condition was highly risky. Eileen spent time
helping both of us understand the complexities of high CO2
levels and the use of oxygen for my husband. Her information
and advice was the most complete for us in the five years he
has needed oxygen she is a GEM!"
Wife of patient - 6 East
"My husband was ambulanced to St. Joes with a heart attack
after a heart cath showed he needed a stent. Eileen was our
therapist. She stayed with him & us. She gave him continual
caring critical aid and gave us answers to our questions with
honestly, integrity and competence. She even called to check
on him on her day off and checked in every nite to say good
nite. She gave us mental hugs and we feel she is a friend, God
Bless her and all the others who love their jobs and their
patients."
