During this incredibly stressful and uncertain time, Dhivya has been so calm, thoughtful, and caring. We have requested her as often as possible. She's most certainly deserving of this award. We love and appreciate her.”

“Dhivya has shown great compassion through it all and especially during the hard times. She is always welcoming to the family when we come to see him. Overall, his care has been wonderful and even so, she stands out above it all.
Third nomination:
“My brother has been here for 30 days now. Throughout his time here, many nurses have been assigned to his care. Out of all of the nurses that he has had, Dhivya has by far been the best! She is an exemplary role model for other nurses. She has consistently demonstrated a confident skill set which has made my brother calm and comfortable.
“Beyond her excellent skill set, is her genuine compassion, kindness and angelic bed side manor.
