December 2025 Honoree
Katrina Melanson, BSN, RN
Katrina Melanson, RN of Postpartum, was recently honored with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses! Congrats, Katrina, and thank you for all that you do!
A grateful patient nominated Katrina for this honor, expressing, “Katrina was a true angel during the most terrifying moment of my life. After an emergency c‑section, a severe hemorrhage, and a hysterectomy that sent me to the ICU, she cared for both my newborn and me with extraordinary compassion. She brought my baby to me for skin‑to‑skin, supported my husband through the trauma, and gently guided me through those first painful days. Saying goodbye was heartbreaking, but I’m forever grateful for her kindness, strength, and unwavering care.”
