Congratulations to Stony Brook University Hospital's Employee of the Month, Tara McLaughlin-Whyte, RN, BSN, CHPN! 🎉👏

“I’ve been a Palliative Nurse Coordinator/Navigator at Stony Brook Medicine since October 2021 but I have been a palliative care nurse since 1999. My career path was profoundly shaped by a volunteer experience in a Palliative Care and Hospice Unit during nursing school. I immediately felt a deep connection to the patients, their families and the collaborative spirit of the team, and I’ve been dedicated to this field ever since.

Each day presents an opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Whether it’s through active listening or coordinating care to enhance quality of life, every interaction matters. There is something incredibly fulfilling about knowing you’re providing genuine support when it’s needed most.

One thing I wish more people knew about my role is how multidimensional it truly is. It’s not just clinical care. It also involves coordination, education and working across teams to support patients and families every step of the way.

I’m so honored and grateful to be named Employee of the Month, and to work alongside such an incredible team.”

"Nurse Rachel immediately showed such compassion, patience, and kindness. She took the time to calm me down, made sure I was comfortable, reassured me, and gently helped me settle into bed. She continued to check on me throughout the night, which brought me a sense of safety and peace during a very vulnerable moment.

Rachel was also my nurse for the remainder of my stay over the next three nights, and her compassion never wavered. She was consistently attentive, reassuring, and thoughtful, always making me feel cared for as a whole person, not just a patient. Her presence truly made a difficult and frightening experience more manageable. I am deeply grateful for Nurse Rachel and the exceptional care she provided."

🌼 Congratulations and thank you to Stony Brook University Hospital's DAISY Award recipient, Rachel Lombardo, RN! 🌼
