🌟 We’re proud to announce that Madison “Maddie” has received a DAISY Award for her extraordinary compassion and care in the NICU! 🎉

During a difficult time for a NICU family, Maddie made a simple, powerful gesture—a handwritten note left beside their baby that read, “Goodnight Mom + Dad! I love you!” Though small, it carried a message of hope, love, and connection when it was needed most.

That act of kindness reminded the family that their child was not only receiving excellent medical care, but was also surrounded by genuine compassion.

Maddie didn’t just care for a patient—she brought comfort and healing to the heart. 💛

Please join us in celebrating Maddie for embodying what it truly means to be a nurse.

🌟 SPARK AWARD — Congratulations to Sean Hughes, our March Spark Award recipient! 🎉

Sean, a dedicated Histology Assistant, has been recognized for his exceptional commitment to patient care and his proactive approach to improving processes. In January, while reviewing a patient history, Sean identified a specimen that had been missed after surgery. His attention to detail, thorough investigation, and quick action ensured the specimen was brought to pathology, preventing any potential impact on the patient's care.

Sean's dedication to quality and his ability to question and correct issues before they become problems exemplify the standard of excellence we value at Kootenai Health. Thank you, Sean, for your unwavering commitment and for making a difference every day!
