After 45 years of caring for the tiniest patients, Debbie Burnett retired from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in April 2025. Her passion for NICU nursing began during a student field trip through the nursery at Norton Healthcare. It was a moment that solidified where she wanted to spend her career!

She began working in the NICU during her final year at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, first as a licensed practical nurse and later as a registered nurse. Over the decades, she developed a deep appreciation for the day-to-day miracles that unfolded in the unit 👶 💫

Debbie remained with Norton Healthcare for more than four decades because of the organization’s dedication to innovation and the many meaningful relationships she formed along the way.

Thank you, Debbie, for your years of compassion and commitment 🫶
