Our outstanding nurses and the care they provide help make Houston Methodist Hospital one of the nation's leading health care providers. Through our I CARE values, our nurses create a positive, uniquely Houston Methodist experience for each of our patients and their families. — Marc L. BooM, M.D. President and cEo, Houston Methodist Hospital I have seen our nursing staff do some amazing things: quickly jump into action to save a life, rock a newborn baby to sleep, or spend hours at a critical patient's bedside. I've even experienced their brilliance first- hand when my son was a patient. The role of a nurse may be varied, but the difference they make in the lives of our patients and families is immeasurable. — craig corDoLa cEo, Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical center Nurses play a crucial and integral role in overall patient experience and outcomes, especially in cancer care where patient anxiety is often high and interactions during treatment often occur over many months. They are on the front line of care, and we are deeply appreciative for all they do to help ensure patient care, safety and comfort remain our top priorities. — ronaLD a. DEPinHo, M.D. President, The University of Texas MD anderson cancer center Nurses are our lifeline; they are the frontline care- givers, and represent an invaluable and precious resource that we depend on for care continuity and superior service.
