Nomination #1:

Jeri was wonderful to my father took really good care was super nicer helped any way she could helped with my family what a super lady.

Nomination #2:

Jeri’s cheerful willing attitude and joyful presence in my room was one of the best needed dosages I could have received.

Nomination #3:

Jeri entered our son’s room with compassion, kindness and every ready smile and joy, in therapeutic dosage, that has helped us all. She is kind, considerate and encouraging, easing pain just by being present to us all on a regular basis. Thank you for her!!

Nomination #4:

Ms. Jeri was so very tentative to my husband’s (patient, William Miller Scott) needs and is such a hardworking and compassionate person who has a happy and positive attitude. Her attitude alone makes people who feel bad feel better even after a difficult and/or complex surgery. Patient care needs more people like her at all levels because she has the perfect attitude that patient care needs. We were so blessed to have her!

Please congratulate Jeri for Being Exceptional Every day at UAMS!

Way to go Jeri!
