Connie Coyner, nurse with Muncy Valley Hospital's Medical/Surgical Unit, was selected after being nominated by her coworkers. "Connie is a vital member of the Medical/Surgical team. She attends to the needs of her patients and coworkers with her whole heart, and she is an exemplary care provider. Connie is very creative and has a gift of hospitality guaranteed to brighten anyone's day. She has touched the lives of many patients, but one patient story seems to stand above the rest in which she was able to establish a deep relationship with a long-term patient who had been exhibiting physical limitations, frustration and distrust towards staff. Connie was able to connect with the patient on a level that no other care provider could and this lead to a complete change of attitude and behavior from the patient, even complimenting Connie for treating her like more than a number' and making me feel human.' She truly is an outstanding individual and a remarkable nurse."
