Osborne has saved countless lives in her role as a nurse at Wayne HealthCare and also saved lives off the nursing floor.
Deb (Osborne) not only excels as a nurse but as a human being outside of work. She is a true patient and co-worker advocate, constantly trying to remedy issues brought to her. She picks up many hours beyond her scheduled shifts to help the patients receive the specialized, rural care that is characteristic of Wayne HealthCare. Deb portrays a true representation of positivity and professionalism, even when she does not agree with the issue or situation. 
Osborne has saved countless lives in her role as a nurse at Wayne HealthCare and also saved lives off the nursing floor. While Osborne is a modest person who doesn’t like to brag about herself, she saved a co-worker by giving them the Heimlich maneuver. On another occasion, she performed CPR in the pouring rain one night when a young father had been hit by a car on the side of the highway. In yet another incident, Osborne was driving on the highway and came to a stop in traffic and noticed that there was a horrible car accident involving victims thrown from the car, so she stopped and checked their pulses. At the time, she noticed a car on fire with an elderly couple trapped inside. Osborne yelled for the policeman to give her his flashlight and she busted out the window of the car, while another bystander extinguished the fire. Then, Osborne assisted in extracting the couple from the car and held a C-spine until the paramedics showed up. 
Deb (Osborne) is very deserving. She is someone who has made a significant impact in the community as well as being a guardian angel for many and a mentor for countless.
