April 2023 Honoree
Mercedes DeFreece, RN
A mother she cared for at the Birth Place nominated Mercedes for the award:
“Mercedes was the first nurse we saw upon arriving. I wasn’t sure I was in ‘real labor’ but was very exhausted and emotional. She was calm, comforting, and encouraging right away! She was overall the best nurse we could have imagined to be with us to welcome a new life into our family.”
