Congratulations to Kim Stanford, LPN, Six-East, for being named the 2026 Southeast Health Nurse of the Year at Friday’s Nurses Week Awards Ceremony.
“Kim was very knowledgeable, caring and helpful during my stay at Southeast Health. You don’t find caring individuals every day and she stood out from the crowd and really cared about helping others,” according to a patient who nominated Kim for a Daisy Award.
Another patient wrote, “she has been so phenomenal with her job, even being as busy as she is to help me. She makes me feel like I am her only patient even though I am not.”
