Madeline Rice, RN

Maddie was recognized by a patient’s daughter for the “exceptional compassion, kindness, and care she showed my mom.” The nominator explained that when her mother was experiencing a health challenge that made her uncomfortable, “Maddie went above and beyond to ensure my mom felt safe, heard, and cared for — not just during one shift, but throughout her entire stay.” She added, “Maddie made a point to check in with her every day she worked, always with a smile, a kind word, and sincere concern for how my mom was feeling. Her consistent attention and emotional support made a real difference in my mom’s comfort during her recovery.”
