During my stay at Westview she took excellent care of me and. She was the one who accompanied me to most of my hospital and doctors’ appointments. I’ll never forget her caring and genuine kindness.

I am so sorry to hear of Maralyn’s passing. I was a patient at Westview almost all of July and she was my PCT many days.
She was the last employee that I saw because she discharged me to our car. Such a great loss of a truly caring, compassionate
and hard working PCT to all the patients at Westview. My deep condolences to her family and coworkers.
