OKEECHOBEE — For 34 years, Raulerson Hospital Critical Care Director Deborah Benitez, RN, has reported to work at the hospital and devoted her time and energy into evidence-based care, advocating for patients, comforting families through difficult situations and mentoring and developing nurses and clinicians.

On social media, the hospital shared best wishes: “She led the hospital’s facility though many changes, campaigns and technical advancements and has been a champion for Sepsis Awareness and early patient screening, resulting in improved patient outcomes. Raulerson will truly miss Deb and everything she brings to the table. She has had a remarkable career in nursing, touching countless lives and careers in Okeechobee.”
