When flight nurse Jon Hagen responded to an accident one night in 2002, he remained with the critically-injured patient until the man passed away that same evening. The incident stuck with Jon, who penned a letter to the patient’s family to let them know that the man did not die alone. Little did Jon know how much of an impact that letter would have on the patient’s daughter, Kelly.
Since her father’s passing, Kelly went back to school to study nursing. The letter Jon had written to her family served as her inspiration, as she wanted to provide the same level of comfort to other families of injured and sick individuals. Kelly recently reached out to Jon on Facebook to let him know how much his thoughtfulness meant to her and her family. Not only did Jon respond, but he later became her nursing mentor.
