Starfish Winners Make Patients a Priority
Florence Briones, BSN, RN, Nursing Services, Tower 9, Felicia Kuplast, RN, NICU, and Jacqueline Leyden, BSN, RN, of Tower 10AB, never stop making their patients’ needs a priority.
These nurses were among six winners recognized at the Starfish Awards ceremony in May. Karl Breuing, MD, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Michael Healey, MD, Internal Medicine, and Katharine Black, MD, Department of Medicine, also were honored for their commitment to patients.
“Any staff member or volunteer can receive a Starfish Award,” Kim Ternavan, RN, MS/MBA, chair of the Starfish Committee, said. “The one trait common in recipients of this award is that they each have done something extra to make a difference to a patient.”
