Jennifer Anderton was rushed to Lakeview Hospital's Emergency Room with COVID-19 symptoms, unaware that her journey would turn into a two-week stay.
Placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit, Anderton found herself in a unique situation. She could hear the commotion around her, particularly a voice that resonated deeply within.
Little did she know, the voice belonged to a critical care nurse named Lisa Whittaker. She came to work that evening to care for patients in need, as she has for the past 30 years — the past five of which had been spent at"I remember what Jennifer went through. I remember hugging her head and talking to her, and telling her she was going to make it," Whittaker said."I'm happy that I was able to be there for her when she needed somebody the most," Whittaker said.
Anderton, who is also a traveling nurse, recovered and was discharged from the hospital Jan. 31, 2020, without ever knowing Whittaker's name.
