"Brooke is a highly skilled and knowledgeable clinician, capable of managing the most acute of patients. Brooke provides exceptional customer service, always greets her patients and family members with a smile and positive, professional demeanor. She is a patient advocate and proactively shares any issues with the provider team so their questions and/or concerns can be addressed in a timely manner," wrote CMHVI SSU Manager Nancy Roy, who nominated her for the award.
The DAISY Award is the second time in just a few months that Brooke has been recognized for her dedication and skill as a care provider. In March, the American Red Cross honored her with an "Everyday Heroes" award for "Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Acts."
The Red Cross honor highlighted Brooke's reaction at the scene of a 2012 Auburn auto accident. According to accounts of bystanders, Brooke took control of the situation, climbed into the crushed car and provided assistance to a critically injured six-year-old girl, and communicated the seriousness of the injury to EMS responders. Physicians would later say that Brooke's actions that day likely saved the girls life and contributed to her amazing recovery. The little's girl's doctors said her survival was "truly a miracle"
Brooke is a graduate of Central Maine Community College in Auburn. She is trained to manage all levels of care for Single Stay Unit patients, including open-heart surgery recovery. She is Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and Trauma certified.
"Brooke's dedication to the wellbeing of others speaks for itself through her work both inside and outside Central Maine Medical Center. She is an outstanding example of a professional nurse who combines a tremendous commitment to service with a high level of clinical skill," said CMMC Chief Nursing Officer Sharron Sieleman.
