December 2025 Honoree
Michelle Jenkins 2026, RN
I can’t thank Michelle enough for the excellent care she gave my daughter during her procedure prep. You truly saw them, picked up on their name and gender preference, knew exactly what to say and do to make them feel safe and seen and taken care of.
You recognized their anxiety and discomfort and were so very intuitive to their needs. And then you had resources and encouragement for me, the mama in the room, about my daughter’s special medical conditions. It is rare to find someone in healthcare who is willing to sit with us and hear us and not dismiss the complexity of what my daughter deals with every day.
So from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
