I can say so much about my friend Denetra, and I really want you all to understand, I am not saying any of this just because she is my friend. But a true friend, she absolutely is. Denetra has a heart for so many. She gives her all in everything she does. I have personally witnessed her dedication in the nursing field for over 30 years. She has cared for the old, the young, and everyone in between. Her compassion runs deep. Her commitment to helping others, her kindness, and her genuine heart show in every situation. She even shows love and respect to those who have passed on yes, I have seen her gently honor a patient after their transition. That’s the kind of heart she has.She has a special place in her heart for the elderly and an equally strong love for the little ones. No matter the situation, Denetra will always give her best. She is truly a special person, one of a kind, and she puts her whole heart into everything she does.

I would like to take a moment to recognize Denetra. A phenomenal asset to the nursing community who has spent over 30 years caring for others. She is passionate about the children at this facility and the care that she provides is evident. Her passion and commitment to operating in a spirit of excellence, while making each child feel seen, is a direct correlation to the divine purpose that she continues to walk in daily. She is truly a gem!
