Lori has recently taken over as Director of Nursing for Long Term Care. Lori is passionate about the elderly population and particularly this group because that is where she got her start.

When Lori started in Long Term Care, she was met with several challenges. She was able to collaborate with residents, families, and staff to overcome and develop a resident-centered approach to these challenges. The culture in Long Term Care is one of caring and compassion. Lori's leadership role in Long Term Care has allowed her to work outside the box, as well as her comfort zone, to ensure residents are a top priority.

Lori is just as attentive to staff with a proactive approach to problem-solving. Lori works beside her staff to help problem solve and is appreciative of any feedback. Lori's open door approach and willingness to be involved in day-to-day activities with a resident-centered focus has been noted by many of her coworkers and administration.

Lori has been a great addition to Long Term Care and I feel is much deserving of the DAISY Award.
