At Memorial, every role plays a part in the care we provide, and today we are shining a little extra light on our Nurse Practitioners. Our NPs bring a special blend of knowledge, compassion, and calm that helps patients feel seen, heard, and supported. They help families make sense of tough moments, walk patients through next steps, and offer care that feels both steady and personal.

We are grateful for the way our NPs show up for our community each day with kindness, patience, and dedication. Your work strengthens the care we provide and touches lives in ways that truly matter.

🌼October Daisy Award Honoree - Joelle Necaise, RN 🌼

“Being told your brand-new baby would be admitted to the NICU is something no parent wants to hear. I had my second baby in July, and that’s exactly what I was told: “Your son will be going to the NICU.” My heart broke at that moment. My brand-new baby. My first son.

Not only that, but I was unable to get out of bed, which meant I couldn’t go with him to the NICU until I was cleared to get up. What should have been a time of bonding with my newborn quickly became a time of fear, panic and confusion.

As soon as I could go, I went. That’s where I met Joelle. She was the lead nurse for much of our NICU stay and one day took over my son’s care when our original nurse had to leave. Joelle was incredibly knowledgeable and truly took the time to listen to what I, as a mom, wanted for my baby. She was calm and exactly what my husband and I needed in that moment.

She was always available for questions and gave thorough replies. She greeted us as we came in and out of the NICU, even when she wasn’t our nurse. She checked in on us when she didn’t have to. Joelle was a reason I was able to relax and spend time with my son instead of worrying about all the what-ifs.

She is truly working in an area that is her calling. She was made to be a nurse. We could absolutely tell she gives her all to each little human she comes in contact with — and to the families, too.

As you can imagine, the NICU is somewhere no parent wants to be with their child, but having Joelle there was a blessing for our family. She deserves recognition as she is a huge asset to this hospital.”

Thank you, Joelle, for being you!
