January 2026 Honoree
Shelbi Jones, BSN, RN
Recently, very suddenly and unexpectedly, my husband wound up in the ICU of the local hospital. It was very scary and unnerving. He had been intubated in the ER in hopes of being able to determine what was happening to him.
Shelbi became his nurse in the ICU. Shelbi was an excellent nurse and did everything in her power to ensure he was as well and comfortable as he could be under the circumstances. It brought tears to my eyes when I saw her combing his hair for him while he was unconscious, and wiping his brow with a cool cloth.
Shelbi was a comfort not only to him, but to our whole family. She went above and beyond her nursing duties and cared for him as if he were her family member.
Shelbi helped us understand what was going on, and we did not feel so lost. She kept us strong for our loved one. She was there with us the whole time, until they loaded him onto a helicopter bound for a Salt Lake hospital. We can’t thank Shelbi enough for her care and comfort during a very difficult time in our lives.
My husband is now home and recovering, and I know Shelbi’s care made all the difference. She is a kind, caring person and nurse who has a beautiful soul.

Thank you, Shelbi, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
