Bock is dependable, respectful, and compassionate with her patients. She organizes the care schedule to avoid disruption for patients at night when possible. She is known and appreciated for her positive attitude at work, which sets a great example for others.

Bock recently helped when a patient required assistance into the car after discharge. Bock and two others were able to provide professional and caring help.

“They were wonderful with the patient and her husband,” wrote the nominator. “The husband was very grateful for their help and so were we.”
