"As a Mission Partner at OSF, Iโ€™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 Iโ€™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
