Leah volunteered to cover for the ICU staff when their coworker passed so they could attend her funeral.
Leah is an extraordinary nurse, CRNA, friend, co-worker, and all-around human. She is constantly being praised by her peers for the positivity that radiates from her daily. Patients adore her and her co-workers are constantly singing her praises. She is the true example of what it means to "serve with heart and soul". A core value at Singing River Health System. Many comments are submitted about the care she gives and the compassion in which she treats her patients:

Amazingly skilled and caring provider. She cares for the most challenging patients in the CV rooms. Examples of Leah's selflessness include volunteering to cover numerous RN shifts in the COVID unit during the pandemic. She volunteered to cover for the ICU staff when their coworker passed so they could attend her funeral. She volunteered to spend her weekend off providing COVID vaccines at our vaccine events.

There was a young lady in her early 40s close to losing her extensive battle with cancer. We brought her in for a procedure and Leah came to the room, held the young lady’s hand, and sat beside her to comfort her until she was under. It reminded us that our patients are mothers, wives, friends, and family to someone. We have to keep a certain level of professionalism in the work we do, Leah reminds us all that we can comfort and effectively treat those in need with the compassion she shows daily.

Singing River Health System is grateful too have Leah on our team.
