July 2026 Honoree
Laci Jakab, RN
Some nurses do their job well, and then there are nurses who go far beyond what the job description could ever capture. You are one of those nurses. Your compassion for your patients and dedication to our team never goes unnoticed.
Recently, you showed exactly the kind of heart you bring to nursing when you took the time to buy a patient new clothes, making sure they even had something appropriate for their upcoming professional occasion. That simple but incredibly thoughtful act meant so much more than just clothing. You helped restore dignity and confidence, and reminded them that someone truly cares about their life outside these hospital walls.
It’s moments like that which show what kind of nurse and person you are. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to go above and beyond make a lasting difference for both your patients and your coworkers. Med Surg is better because of you, and we’re so lucky to work beside you.
