I really appreciate Abby for following up.  I have never called before (and hope to never have to again) and you have been an amazing resource.  I was so panicked and you gave me all the knowledge I needed to ensure that my child was safe.  I am so grateful!  You have been amazing!! Thank you!!!

Hello, I would like to take a minute to recognize one of the nurses that assisted me when I called last night. Her name was Barbara and she was absolutely so wonderful and helpful. She made sure to check on us throughout the night to make sure we’re were doing okay. She explained everything thoroughly with me and made sure I understood it all. I would love to thank her for helping me and my toddler!!!

When completing a morning  follow up on a kerosene ingestion -the mother was extremely grateful for the Missouri Poison Center services. She stated she was “so thankful for Kendal’s calmness and instruction.” The parents had first called from the hospital parking lot and after speaking with Kendal, decided it was safe to manage and observe their child at home.

I just wanted to share my wonderful experience with the Missouri Poison Control hotline last evening & throughout the night. Rachel, RN was the one who helped my husband & I related to our daughter who is 2 years old.  She was so helpful, kind, & knowledgeable. Her kind nature & gentle voice kept me at ease throughout the entire night. I could tell that she truly cared about our daughter’s wellbeing & health. I just wanted to bring light to Rachel & say that I am so thankful for her help!
