Dawn Elizabeth Amison Whittington

Dawn was an amazing, caring MICU nurse. I was so happy when she got interested in starting an Outpatient wound care clinic and then took all the steps necessary to make it happen. I always considered her a special friend and co-worker no matter what role we were in at different points in our careers. It was so comforting to know the veterans receiving care from her would be taken care of to best of her abilities. I will always remember and miss Dawn.

Our condolences to John and other family members. Dawn was a friend and co-worker who I will never forget. She was the utmost professional, caring, person who always went the extra mile. She really made a difference in our lives and will forever hold a special place in our heart.
