October 2025 Honoree
Katie Gardner, RN
Nurse Katie consistently takes exceptional care of our IPR patients. There's a huge level of patience and compassion required to educate, support, and care for patients with new/progressive disabilities, and she consistently goes above and beyond in offering this. Remarkably, Katie provided attentive and thoughtful care to a patient who was tenuously stable and with a high level of acuity, on top of providing diligent care to all of her other patients while nursing and PCAs were short-staffed. The fact that this patient remained stable until transfer could be coordinated is entirely because of the close care and attention Katie offered all day long.
Thank you, Katie, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
