    Thornton, Rita sends you a cheer: "Every time we have a medical emergency, I am reminded of what amazing Nurses and MAs we have in Pediatrics. They are the first ones to rush to assess and help, they remain calm and focused, and they do everything they can to support and care for the patient. Parita, Betty, and Gina were amazing today helping a (Special Needs) patient who was scared and upset, and they made me so proud to be part of this team!!"
