Thomas Hospital: "I had an unexpected visit to Thomas from the Malbis ER. I had wonderful care there but 2 ladies made such an impression on me. I was in 3206. Lauren RN and Neshia.. Lauren was with me for 2 days and Neshia, NA. They are exceptional. I was in healthcare for 43 years and it is so nice to see people who really put their expertise and their heart into there jobs. Also, I love the new rooms. Very nice. " - VICKI
