Congratulations to our April Employee of the Month — Christy McKinney, RN, Clinical Education Specialist! 💚🩺

Christy plays an important role in supporting safe, high-quality care across Helen Keller Hospital through her expertise in wound care, clinical education and documentation. As the hospital’s wound care nurse, she is often called on to provide specialized support, review protocols, educate staff and help ensure our teams have the most up-to-date knowledge and resources.

Christy also supports new nurses and techs during clinical orientation, provides ongoing wound care education, stays current on certifications and best practices, and is currently developing a wound care class to further support staff education.

Thank you, Christy, for your dedication, expertise and the important work you do behind the scenes and at the bedside!

Future healthcare professionals in the making! 💚

We enjoyed welcoming HOSA students from Kilby Laboratory School today for a hands-on look at different areas across our hospital. From the ambulance bay to departments throughout campus, the students had the opportunity to learn more about the people, teamwork and technology behind patient care.

We loved their curiosity and excitement for the future of healthcare. Thanks for visiting us!

A favorite tradition with our favorite people. 💚🤩

These are the faces behind some of the most important moments in our hospital.

The quiet reassurance before a procedure. The steady hand in an emergency. The voice that explains, encourages and comforts. The person who shows up when patients and families need care the most.

This Nurses Week, we’re celebrating the faces behind the care at Helen Keller Hospital — the nurses, nursing aides and nursing leaders who pour their skill, strength and compassion into this community every day.

See someone you know? Tag them below and help us celebrate them! 💚

Thank you, Sarah, for your hard work, generosity, and commitment to serving others so well. We're lucky to have you! 💚
