April, just letting you know how much I have appreciated being a mentor though I

know you had several over the years and I was more a side-line cheering section.

I can not wait to see you bloom in your future career!

Thank you so much for being a diligent, knowledgeable and great team player on

a crazy delivery day we had (over 10 deliveries). You approached each delivery

with a calm demeanor and confidence. You prioritized the patients and wrote

orders efficiently and effectively. We were able to manage multiple patients at

once and you held great leadership throughout the day. I was very thankful you

were my admitting physician that day and it made the day go by smoothly despite

the craziness of back to back deliveries and sometimes more than one at a time.

To: Mark Baker, NEONATAL-PERINATAL MEDICINE,

Dr Baker, It has been a great pleasure working with you these last three years.

Thank you for being you! Your kindness, honesty, and genuineness will take you

very far in the next journey of life. I am, selfishly, very sad that you are not

staying at LLU, but I am so excited for you to take a position where you want to

be and that reminds you of home. That, too, is very important. Keep in touch after

you leave and tell us the great things that you are accomplishing in life. Take care

and God Bless you.
