October 2025 Honoree
Joscelyn Parrella 2, RN, BSN, CCRN
She was our nurse for the first three days. In just that short time, she took the time to get to know my husband as a person, not just a patient. She made sure he was clean every day, and his hair was brushed and looked presentable every day I got there. We talked about his life outside of the hospital, and she made sure that she answered any questions I had or found the doctor for me to talk to ease my mind.
In October, I knew they were putting a trach in my husband to wake him up, and I was never so happy to call that morning and hear a familiar voice that I knew would be with him for that procedure when I could not be there. When I got there, she assured me that everything went well. She was able to finally talk to him while he was awake, and I believe she was just as relieved as I was to see my husband's eyes open. Top-notch care, compassionate, and an advocate nurse.
