Stephanie Brown

Stephanie’s nomination is all the more meaningful because it was submitted by a parent of a patient for whom Stephanie cared. Some excerpts from that nomination form:

“Her commitment to the patients goes beyond just knowledge. We saw how she took care of my son, how she not only did her job, but truly cared for the patient, how she loved not only the patient, but the whole family. She would give hope to what seemed hopeless.

“Every visit my son had, she was there for any questions, for information and support. I didn’t want to leave my son alone, but she reassured me that she was there and she wouldn’t let anything happen to him. She was someone to rely on. Some nurses just do their job; she does what her heart tells her. I thank her for all she did for my son. We will never forget her for giving us support, love, affection — people she had never met before. I think that takes courage. Thank you for everything, and God bless her.”
