Lisa's caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable nature makes others want to do and be better.
Over the past fifteen years, I have had the privilege to witness Lisa modeling exemplary behavior daily at every level of nursing! It was evident in the exceptional care she provided as a bedside nurse as she provided a calm and compassionate environment for her patients. Lisa’s exemplary behavior extended into providing education through mentoring and certification classes to other nurses. She flawlessly models true servant leadership without fail, inspiring others to not only be their best selves but achieve their highest potential.

Lisa is an outstanding leader demonstrating true nursing excellence to those of us lucky enough to learn from her example! Lisa is one of those leaders that we all look up to and respect. She creates an environment where there is trust, compassion, and mutual respect.  She is always available to her team and helps us to grow in our professional development by giving us the tools and mentorship needed. She is a model of ethical behavior. She is always doing the right thing for patients as well as her team. Lisa is one of the most inspiring nurse leaders whom I have had the privilege to work alongside.

She strives to see the best in people and the positive in all situations. Her caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable nature makes others want to do and be better. Lisa has an innate ability to bring teams together by focusing on a shared purpose and helping members of those teams set aside their differences to achieve a common goal. Lisa will be the first to praise the extraordinary team we have at Washakie Medical Center. She frequently shares, and truly believes, that our employees are the best around and that she would not trade any of our nurses for a nurse from a larger facility.

She promotes improved patient outcomes and experiences through example. During the last year, she has inspired the team to focus on the little things that can be done for a patient that can greatly improve their perception of their care.

Lisa is honestly the glue that holds our nursing team together. All of us are watched every day by others to see if we actually do as we say, whether at work or at home.  Trust, or loss of trust, is the outcome.  Lisa knows you and our community.  She is driven to learn as much as she can about the science of nursing and the needs of the people who seek care at the hospital. 

She dedicates her time every day in order to make sure that WMC is a center of healing and caring that earns trust from the people and from those of us who work here.  I trust her and I’m grateful that she has chosen Banner WMC to share her talents, time, and skills.
