Employee Spotlight - Jesica Stratton, RN
Jesica is such a valuable asset to those of us at WGH. Not only is she an incredible nurse, but she is also willing to help and do whatever is needed from her. If shifts need covered, she cover them. If assistance with patient care is needed, she helps. If we are unsure about anything, she finds us the answer. She is great with her patients, she is an amazing supervisor, and a good monitored care nurse! I know many of us are grateful for everything that she does for us.
