🎥 Shore Medical Center’s 10th Annual A Cause to Celebrate Gala dazzled on Friday, October 10 at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, following the theme "Old Hollywood Glamour". Guests posed for flashbulbs, mingled with Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, and celebrated under twinkling lights. It was a night truly worthy of the silver screen! ✨

The evening honored Chris and Andrea Monihan and the Renee Parker Monihan Foundation for their extraordinary support of our Emergency Department. Their generosity made possible a dedicated pediatric specialty treatment room and a fully renovated family meeting room, designed to include, support and comfort families during serious medical emergencies.

Thanks to our incredible guests, sponsors, and community partners, the gala raised an astounding $405,000 to help Shore provide advanced technology, beautiful healing environments, and expert, individualized care for every patient who needs us.

Guests enjoyed a top-shelf open bar and a spectacular menu, including sushi, oysters and more in a fully stocked raw bar, filet mignon and salmon, and the super-popular mashed potato bar. The Exceptions kept the dance floor alive from first number to final curtain call.

A heartfelt thank you to our presenting sponsor, Penn Medicine, and to The Golden Nugget for making the evening unforgettable.

Talk about perfect timing! We are so proud to announce our October Guardian Angel of the Month is none other than ER Nurse Tyler Melnicove, RN, BSN, ATC, EMT - and his announcement just so happens to fall during Emergency Nurses Week!

Tyler has been an ER nurse at Shore for just six months, but prior to that, he worked for over a decade as an EMT and brings extensive hands-on experience to his nursing career. His manager, Kevin Houser, RN, said, “Tyler is a hard-working, enthusiastic, and eager-to-learn nurse. He cares about all of his patients and is professional, kind, and humble.”

A patient who made a Guardian Angel donation to Shore in Tyler's honor shared this about him: "I arrived at Shore having an acute heart attack in the early morning. Tyler, my nurse, was amazing — knowledgeable, calm, and reassuring, which put me and my fiancé at ease. We will always be grateful to him for the kindness and compassion shown to us. Tyler is truly an asset to your organization!"

Congratulations, Tyler, and thank you for the excellent care you provide our patients and community!

Happy Emergency Nurses Week to our amazing ER team at Shore Medical Center!

Our ER nurses are the calm in the storm, the reassuring voice in a crisis, and the steady hands that save lives every day.

They care for everyone who walks through our doors - children, adults, seniors, people with sensory needs, those facing addiction or homelessness, and so much more - with compassion, dignity, and skill.

In our busy shore community, where the pace can change in an instant, they rise to every challenge with heart and teamwork.

This week and every week, we celebrate you. Thank you for all you do for our patients and our community! 🙌💜

Please join us in congratulating Endoscopy Nurse Christina Shiffler, RN, of Marmora, who was named Shore Medical Center’s September Employee of the Month!

Since joining Shore in 2021, Christina has become a trusted colleague and compassionate caregiver in the endoscopy unit. As an endoscopy nurse, she prepares patients for procedures, provides attentive care throughout, supports their recovery, and also steps up as a knowledgeable charge nurse guiding her team.

Her manager, Paul Sikora, BSN, RN, shared:
“Christina's ability to lead the department when needed, mentor new staff, and model professionalism has elevated the quality of care within the department and thus Shore Medical Center as a whole. Her commitment, reliability, and willingness to take initiative embody the core values of Shore Medical Center, making her a true role model for her peers and a deserving recipient of Employee of the Month.”

Outside of work, Christina is a proud mom of two boys and loves spending time with her family. 💜

👏 Thank you, Christina, for your dedication, leadership, and commitment to Shore’s mission and values. You make a difference every day!

It may be October, but this recognition is absolutely worth the wait! 💜 We're very proud to share that Deborah Oatman, Emergency Department Health Unit Coordinator/Tele Tech on night shift, is our August Employee of the Month! 👏

Deborah has been part of the Shore family since 2002, starting as a registrar in the Emergency Department. She became a health unit coordinator in 2011 and transitioned to her current night shift HUC/Telemetry Tech role in March 2020, where she supports patient flow, monitors critical patient cardiac data, and ensures safe and coordinated care.

Sherri Richmond, Administrative Director of the ED, (pictured at left with Deborah) describes her as the calming force of the emergency department.

“Deborah is kind, compassionate and a cheerleader who can lighten any mood. She senses when the team needs extra support after a difficult situation and will reach out to the manager to ensure that happens,” Richmond says. “She goes the extra mile to support her colleagues and is a fierce patient and family advocate. She always finds a way to get them anything they need to assist them during their stay in the ED.”

Deborah’s compassion extends beyond the ED as well — she has been deeply involved in community outreach and is passionate about helping unhoused community members. She plays an active role in providing food, clothing, and toiletries to those in need, and she's also a strong advocate for flu vaccination education.

Join us in congratulating Deborah for her dedication, professionalism, and unwavering care. 👏 And stay tuned — our September Employee of the Month will be announced very soon!
