  1. Way to go Kris. When we met years ago, I knew you were a special person and would go far. Although ours lives and careers have led us in different directions, I’m glad we are still friends. You are a Great Nurse, a champion for human rights and a very compassionate person.

  2. She was my boss at that “other” hospital here in Michigan. There was never before, and never after, anyone like Kris. She was the most amazing boss and co-worker that I have EVER encountered. She was always so helpful, did not hesitate to jump right in and do whatever needed doing. That unit was rated # one many times, and the main reason was Kris. I have NEVER known anyone who did not love and respect her. To this day, if she needed anything from me, I would be there!!

    1. Anna, thank you for tuning into RHLR! We truly enjoyed having Kris on as a guest and appreciate your kind words. Great leaders make all the difference!
