April Tilles, LPN

April consistently goes above and beyond in every interaction, delivering compassionate, skilled, and patient-centered care to every individual who walks through our doors. April’s ability to connect with patients is remarkable. Whether it’s calming the fears of a worried parent with a sick child, reassuring an elderly patient who is anxious, or simply offering a warm smile to someone having a tough day, April brings a sense of calm and trust to each encounter. 

She has an incredible talent for making patients feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for, no matter how busy the clinic gets. April is also a team player through and through. She anticipates the needs of providers, supports her colleagues without hesitation, and helps keep the clinic running smoothly during even the most hectic shifts. She is quick to jump in where needed — whether that’s assisting with procedures, triaging patients, or mentoring newer team members — always with grace, patience, and a positive attitude. 

What truly sets April apart is her heart. She treats each patient with dignity and respect, regardless of background or circumstance. She advocates for her patients, ensures they understand their discharge plans, and takes time to educate them, empowering them to take charge of their health. Time and again, we hear from patients about how April made their visit better, eased their concerns, or turned a stressful moment into a positive experience. April exemplifies the spirit of the DAISY Award. She is a shining example of excellence in nursing and a cornerstone of our team.
