March 2019 Honoree

Kimberly Nguyen is a rock star in every way! She was recently recognized by Lucile Packard with an award of extraordinary achievement for "remarkable pickup of a coarctation on a week-old baby - great assessment skills!"
When I asked Kimberly more about the experience, she said "Apparently, if I hadn't caught it, the baby probably would have died later that shift or day. Even so, I am not as familiar with this heart defect, so I'm trying to read up on it."
All I have to say is WOW! She saved a baby's life and then is so humble about it as to even admit that she still has room to learn and grow.

Thank you, Kimberly, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
