Last night, Swain Community Hospital gathered for a beautiful evening of recognition, fellowship and celebration as we honored our 2026 Lifepoint Health Mercy Award nominees. 💙

Each nominee was invited to bring a guest and their leaders to share in the evening, making the celebration even more personal and meaningful. The Mercy Award is the highest honor a Lifepoint Health employee can receive, and at the local level, it serves as our highest annual employee recognition, much like an Employee of the Year award.

Every nomination told a story. A story of someone who cared deeply, stepped forward, advocated for a patient, supported a coworker or helped make Swain Community Hospital feel like the close-knit place it is. These are the moments that may not always make headlines, but they matter deeply to patients, families, coworkers and our community.

Swain Community Hospital’s 2026 Mercy Award nominees:
Jamie Booze, RN; Norma Burdette, NP; Samantha Forzano; Virginia Fuller, RN; and William Layfield.

Congratulations to Jamie Booze, RN, our 2026 Swain Community Hospital Mercy Award winner, and to each of this year’s nominees. Your nominations reflected compassion, service and the heart of community-based care.

Thank you to Western Carolina University for hosting our special event and helping us create such a warm and memorable evening.

Swain Community Hospital is incredibly proud to announce its 2026 Mercy Award winner: Jamie Booze, BSN, RN! 💙

The Mercy Award is the highest honor a Lifepoint Health employee can receive. At the local level, it serves as our highest annual employee recognition, much like an Employee of the Year award. It honors team members whose compassion, character, service and commitment profoundly touch the lives of others.

Jamie is a nurse leader at Swain Community Hospital, known for her clinical judgment, compassionate leadership, and deep commitment to patients, families and staff. She was selected for the way she leads with both skill and heart, supporting her team, advocating for patients and helping improve care in thoughtful and lasting ways.

Jamie’s impact is felt in the trust of her team, the comfort of her patients and the strength of the Swain Community Hospital family. She notices what people need. She steps forward when it matters. She helps create the kind of care environment where patients feel seen, families feel reassured, and staff feel supported.

This recognition reflects not just what Jamie does, but who she is: a leader, caregiver, advocate and steady source of compassion for those around her. 💙

Please join us in congratulating Jamie on this meaningful and well-deserved honor.
