Celebrating National Nurse Week

May-10-2021

Employees

To celebrate National Nurses Week (May 6th to May 12th), we want to share some shout-outs that were sent to us.

 

From Rebecca Novinger, Imagine! Chief Executive Officer:

"One of my favorite quotes is something Mahatma Gandhi said: 'The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.'  When I reflect upon the Imagine! Nursing Team, this quote underscores the heart of the team…in service of others. Happy Nurses Week to each of them – we appreciate all of you!"

 

From Vicki Thaler, Director of Nursing:

"Sue Miranda – Sue brings humor to each day!

Jamie Zimenoff - Jamie takes people on exciting and safe outings and always supportive!

Anh-Hong Huynh – Anh-Hong is quiet but persistent in helping others.

Holly Perna – Holly is always the helper!

Jill Johnson (Nursing Coordinator) – Jill is our go-to person!

Linda Saenz – Linda is not in the Nursing Department but she provides a lot of support and assistance, so thank you!

 

Dear Imagine! Nursing Team,

This has not been the easiest year but you have been showing up every day. Your contributions, commitments, and sacrifices say a lot about your compassion, intelligence, dedication, and humor. I could not imagine a better team to work with. My gratitude to each nurse and to all who contribute to this wonderful team.

Happy Nurses Week! You each embody what nursing is all about.

Sincerely,

Vicki"

 

From Patti Micklin, Imagine! Foundation Executive Director:

"I watched Sue Miranda with awe as she worked patiently, diligently, thoughtfully, and kindly to vaccinate one of the people who came to the clinic but was visibly anxious about the experience. She was masterful in ultimately lowering the health risks of COVID for this person."

 

From Kevin Harding, Director of IT:

"To the amazing nursing staff here at Imagine! who always go above and beyond and have been especially tested dealing with the COVID pandemic.  A mere week of recognition hardly does justice to the incredible job you do day after day to keep our clients and employees safe and healthy.  Thank you and Happy National Nurses Week!"

 

From Kim Cortes, Director of Community and Employment Services:

"This is my first time working for an organization with in-house nursing, and I've been blown away by what a difference it makes. Our nursing team is so knowledgeable and responsive. It would be a gift in normal times, but during a pandemic, it's been incredible. I'm so grateful for all of their support in navigating complex guidelines and keeping our staff and the people we serve safe during this time. THANK YOU Imagine! Nursing Team!"
