I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Dr. Caruso. I pray that you will be comforted with fond memories of her. You are all in my thoughts.

Dr. Caruso was a vibrant and passionate member of our Baptist Health Behavioral Health team. Her energy carried over to her colleagues and patients as an excellent clinician. Myah exhibited the essence of Baptist Health’s core values of respect, advocacy and excellence. She will be missed by all.

Myah was my go to mental health colleague in the hospital for years. She and I both share a similar spirit of care when it came to incorporating an appropriate understanding of mental health. She understood exactly what patients needed and was an amazing guide for them. I have so many memories in collaborative patient care where we made such a huge impact on patients because of our holistic mindsets. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to know her much beyond our passions for mental health. We often talked about my health care philosophy and she was always a consistent source of encouragement to keep pursing my goals. Her focus on mental health in the primary care setting and importance of forming relationships through compassionate communication is something so many patients need and so few practitioners truly understand. She will be sorely missed by so many individuals and my deepest condolences to her loves ones. I promise to continue my work for the both of us Myah, to achieve the vision of health that everyone needs. I wish you could have been at continued part of that journey. Rest in peace my friend.

Myah was my first friend I met at Baptist, she was a part of the Psychology department, and I was with Psychiatry. Initially she and I would work together on cases remotely, though our paths did not cross. I remember the first time we met face to face, she had such a bubbly personality and that amazing curly hair you can never forget. For the past 2.5 years we met at least once a week in the dictation room on the 6th floor; we would have work banter for a bit, but more recently spent time sharing about home renovations. She was so excited and proud of her new home, and she would share all of her pictures on the most recent renovations she was completing. She was so easy to talk to, and a great listener. Myah was kind and compassionate, she was such a pleasure to work with and a role model for all of us in mental health. My heart goes out to her family, as I wish you all peace through this tragedy. I will miss seeing her prance around the corner at work, and all of our friendship-like therapy sessions. Until we meet again.

A few years ago, Dr. Caruso was instrumental in helping guide me to support services for my niece who at the time had been going through challenges with substance abuse. Her skilled knowledge, compassion and soft demeanor was of great comfort to my sister and me. Because of our association through employment at Baptist Medical Center on occasion we would cross paths while walking the corridors, whereupon she would ask how my niece was doing. Over time I learned that we both had traveled similar paths, first as entertainers... then into the health arena. And although I only knew her for a brief period, I soon learned that she was highly respected in her field. Without a doubt I’m sure that she has left a positive impact on everyone that she has encountered. My heartfelt condolences sincerely go out to her family, fiancé and to all affected by her passing.

I only met Myah once and in that one time I could see what an amazing bright light she was. I can only imagine all the lives Myah touched during her journey and how missed she will be by all those blessed to have known her called her friend colleague or loved her as a family member. Sending my sincerest condolences and keeping Myah in my most heartfelt thoughts and prayers.

I worked briefly with Myah at Baptist. In the short time that I worked with her, I enjoyed her sweet spirit. Sending my condolences to all that loved Myah.

When I first met Myah she came to me in the ICU to share that she was there to help my team and my patients and their families. She was invaluable helping us with difficult situations and was always calm, compassionate, and understanding. She really was a bright light and will be so missed by all of us at Baptist. My sincere condolences to her family. You are all in my prayers and I send you love.

Myah was a wonderful friend during graduate school. She was so down to earth, humble, and empathetic. You could always tell her anything and never worry about being made to feel embarrassed or ashamed. She always got it. The last time I saw her was a few years ago when we went to see a Pink Floyd tribute band together. Great memory. Myah will be so greatly missed.

I will always love you and miss you baby!
