Primary Care

 

MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY

In May 2010, EBNHC was honored to be included in the Boston Globe's Eighth Annual Salute to Nurses. Carol Cohen, a nurse practitioner in our Women's Health Department, was touchingly nominated by Eneida Rodriguez in the following letter, reprinted by permission.
 

Carol Cohen: A Steady Hand at the Tiller of Care

"Carol Cohen is a wonderful nurse practitioner. She has worked at the East Boston Health Center for more than 10 years. She treated me five years ago when I was pregnant with my second child. The prenatal care she provided at that time was exemplary. More recently, I have been seeing her for other ongoing medical issues. She takes the time to listen and brainstorms about possible diagnoses. She makes sure I understand every aspect of any procedure done to me. She will call me with test results and is persistent until she speaks with me. When coordinating procedures at other hospitals, she makes sure I have an appointment as soon as possible and that I know how to prep for the appointment and how to find the place. She treats me in a very caring and kind manner. Even during the most terrible procedures possible, she makes me feel at ease and reassures that I will be okay. Carol Cohen should be saluted as one of the best nurses in the field. She treats her patients with respect, dignity, kindness, and humility." ~Eneida Rodriguez
