I saw their interaction with the families of other infants in the unit and was in awe of them, and felt overwhelmed with the desire to work beside them one day.
I believe and trust in each of values put forth by Bon Secours. These values match up with values I have been raised with, and which I live by. I most identify with compassion. While I find it incredibly important to strive for excellence of care, I believe that showing
