Lacey has become one of our senior nurses in the PICU and is a great resource to our younger and newer staff.
Lacey Held is an exceptional nurse in the PICU. She has grown so much in the past year. Lacey is seen to always go above and beyond her duties as a nurse. She is well-loved by the families and especially the patients she takes care of. She at all times advocates for her patients and their families and ensures that she provides exceptional care to her patients. Lacey is also one of our trauma code nurses. Trauma code nurse comes with big responsibilities.

Trauma code nurses check in with the nurses on the medical floor who are caring for watcher status patients. Trauma code nurses also act as a resource for any tier trauma to come through our emergency department. Lacey is always willing to lend a hand with no hesitation.
