"As a Mission Partner at OSF, I’m usually on the other side of care. Experiencing it firsthand from the ED staff, CT tech and ultrasound tech who I work with regularly was incredibly comforting. These trusted women treated me with the same Greatest Care and Love I’ve always witnessed alongside them.

Leslee, my RN, was exceptional, constantly checking on me and my husband and demonstrating her skill and professionalism. Every Mission Partner I encountered, from patient access to Decon Ron, was fantastic. Truly a real class act. Keep up the great work!" - another
