Kimberly Antolak, RN

Kim was nominated by a patient’s daughter for the way she connected with and motivated her mother, who was fearful about her mobility challenges. Kim didn’t just provide excellent care; she got to know her patient, talked with her, addressed her fears, and stressed the importance of mobility exercises. “There were days when my mother felt discouraged, but Nurse Kim was there holding her hand, offering words of encouragement that lifted her spirits remarkably,” the daughter said.
