August 2026 Honoree
Jennifer Hojnacki, RN
The care and attention Jennifer exemplifies is awe-inspiring. I have a terrible fear of pain caused by past experiences, and she not only understood immediately but listened to my objections and convinced me to consider another biopsy when I felt it was necessary. She was there as my comforting force on the day of the procedure and the person who contacted me immediately when the results came back as positive for cancer.
Jennifer has been and continues to be the cheerleader on my shoulder, through every step of the process of a lumpectomy and the testing prior to the surgery. She spreads positivity and challenges those who do not. I look forward to phone calls and follow-up from Jennifer and am blessed to know that she “gets” me.
She is joyous, and in situations at a breast care center, when patients need to see a nurse, it is reassuring to know that men and women will have such an expert in not only medicine, but also the power of laughter and good vibes.
Advances in medicine are a blessing from God and science; cancers are now being found at earlier stages than ever before and treated (thanks to phenomenal physicians) and, likewise, are the advances of promoting magical nurses into roles they were born to fulfill. Jennifer is exceptionally qualified for breast care, patient care, and uplifting spirits during the hardest times and beyond.
