Joyce was a wonderful mentor when I started as a graduate nurse in the EC almost 30 years ago. She was always calm whatever storm came her way. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Joyce for many, many years in the EC at the Med. Joyce was one of the most compassionate people I have ever meet. She was always willing to help. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
