Congratulations to Natalie Becton, Unit Secretary-CNA in Procedural Care, our 2025 2Q Butterfly Honoree! The Butterfly Award recognizes CNAs and Techs who go out of their way to provide compassionate patient care.
Natalie's nomination read: "I would like to nominate Natalie, the patient care technician who worked alongside of Sharon, the IRU nurse, in caring for my mother following her angioplasty on Monday, April 7th. While Sharon provided exceptional nursing care, Natalie was an equally vital part of the team-demonstrating compassion, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to patient-centered care. While much of the attention naturally centers around primary nursing care, Natalie played an equally important role in my mother's healing. She was consistently attentive, patient, and respectful-providing physical support and emotional reassurance during some of my mother's most difficult and vulnerable moments. Whether it was helping with repositioning her in bed, assisting with personal care, or bringing supplies quickly and efficiently, Natalie worked with a calm, confident presence that never drew attention but always made a meaningful difference. She was a vital part of the care team and ensured every step of recovery was handled with dignity and thoughtfulness. Natalie approached every task with a caring presence and a genuine desire to help. What stood out most was the way Natalie worked in perfect harmony with Sharon. Together, they anticipated needs, communicated clearly, and made sure no detail was overlooked. Natalie was proactive and efficient, yet never rushed. She treated my mother with patience and kindness, always explaining what she was doing and making sure my mother felt safe and respected. Her ability to see and treat my mother as a whole person was evident in every interaction. She always took the time to acknowledge her with kindness and clarity-small gestures that had a significant impact. The teamwork between Natalie and Sharon created an environment of genuine comfort and calm that helped ease our entire family's stress and anxiety. In moments when things were difficult-especially when my mother was feeling overwhelmed, Natalie supported Sharon and my family without hesitation. Her calm presence and willingness to help in any way needed showed true dedication and heart. Her support allowed Sharon to focus on more complex aspects of care, knowing that the foundational aspects of my mother's comfort and well-being were in excellent hands. It is with sincere gratitude that I nominate Natalie for the Butterfly Award. Her care was essential and her compassion did not go unnoticed. We are deeply appreciative of the way she contributed to our experience and supported my mother with grace and respect."
