Diane has been an RN since 1974 and has worked for Dr. Laird at the Health First Aging Institute for over 5 years. Diane was nominated by the daughter of one of her patients. The nomination stated:

“I want to express to you what a wonderful job Diane has done for me and my family in helping with the care of my mother, who is presently being seen by Dr. Laird.
We are in the unfortunate situation of being over 1000 miles away in NJ, while Mom is in Florida. We brought her up this past summer for three months, and wouldn’t have been able to without Diane’s help. It was such a smooth transition, because Diane was not only so amazingly efficient, but extremely professional and very compassionate. She was willing to work with us over such a long distance, sometimes on a daily basis. It made an extremely stressful time much more bearable.
Mom is back in Florida now, and I’m sure Diane is just as much a help to my brother, who deals with her locally. Dr. Laird is very lucky to have such a dedicated employee. It was/is truly our pleasure to deal with her and everyone in the office. She is truly deserving of an award!”
