December 2025 Honoree
Aregash Gedafie, RN
Aregash was so kind, patient, and loving to my sister. We had not been able to get her to take a shower for weeks. She was really wanting to go home instead of going to a Skilled Nursing Facility until she was stronger.
Aregash sweetly asked if she could put a shampoo cap on her. She agreed. My sister was then taken for a scalp massage in a wheelchair. Aregash talked her through it and gently and lovingly pulled her hair back into a little bun. When Aregash touched her hair, my sister closed her eyes, and her shoulders relaxed. It was one of the most beautiful acts of love I’ve seen in a long time.
That loving touch made all the difference. She agreed to a shower. She agreed to go to Skilled Nursing, and a shot every week to help with alcohol withdrawal.

Thank you, Aregash, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
