"I find my sense of purpose in each patient I care for and in the people I work with. It's the child who seemed extremely ill but gets to walk out of the ED acting like themselves again, the 'thank you' and gratitude from a patient or a family member after helping with something as simple as getting a warm blanket, and the co-workers who share the same goal to provide the best possible care for those in need." -- Daniel Flesher, RN, Emergency Services
