January 2026 Honoree
Ellie Ucci, BSN, RN
Eleanor (Ellie) provided exceptional care during my labor and delivery hospital stay. From the very beginning, Ellie made me feel comfortable, safe, and truly heard. She paid attention to every single detail and took the time to understand my needs without ever minimizing my pain, concerns, doubts, or complaints.
Through moments of stress and uncertainty, she consistently reassured me with her words, her presence, and her calm confidence. She offered meaningful advice, shared laughter with me when I needed it most, and created an environment that felt both professional and genuinely compassionate. Her attentiveness and kindness made an overwhelming experience feel manageable and even comforting.
Ellie was there for me every step of the way during the delivery of my daughter, and her care left a lasting impression on my family and me. She went above and beyond what is expected of a nurse, and I am incredibly grateful for her dedication, empathy, and outstanding patient care.
She is truly amazing and so deserving of this recognition.
