Tracie Courville and Emily McKenna – Kettering Health Main Campus

“These two nurses were searching for a project that would help the patients they see frequently on their unit. They collaborated with several people and researched several publications to develop a guide for our patients. The final product has been very helpful! This is what a recent patient shared with me after their surgery.

‘I wanted to let you know that I read the Brain Tumor Patient Guide from cover to cover. I think it is an amazing tool to have for patients just starting this journey.  It truly helped explain things that I had forgotten about eight years ago. For one, the section about things to expect is spot on. The medication part is huge as I didn’t realize how much the Decadron affected me! I did not know I would experience the emotional part of it with tears falling out of nowhere. I really found the ‘Going Home’ page very accurate! Bottom line: Great job on the guide!'”
