A program to recognize the extraordinary care and contributions of our non-licensed nursing support staff continues at UHS with Michelle Lamb, Medical Unit, UHS Delaware Valley Hospital, who was named the latest winner of the Sunshine Award! Michelle received the Sunshine Award, along with a bouquet of sunflowers in recognition of her accomplishments, and enjoyed cookies during the celebration.
The nursing assistant was nominated by a patient. In the nomination letter, the patient praises Michelle as someone whose positivity lights up a room, always bringing a can-do attitude to all her tasks. The patient describes how Michelle set her at ease and protected her dignity as she assisted her with personal tasks, such as taking a shower.
“Michelle has mastered the art of positivity in her approach to a patient’s needs,” the patient wrote. “I also observed Michelle be a team player. She knows when to enlist help from a coworker, or lend a hand to someone else. She demonstrates professionalism at all times, which I am certain is a positive reflection on the hospital. I feel honored to have her be a part of my care team!”
Thank you to Michelle for your Compassion and Teamwork, a stellar example of our team living “The UHS Way!”
