Some of the most meaningful moments in healthcare come from simple acts of kindness. We end the month by spotlighting Migena Soto from Manatee Memorial’s Food & Nutrition Services Team for creating a lasting connection with a patient during his stay in our Cardiac Unit. 💚 The patient shared that Migena’s kindness, positivity and daily interactions made the hospital stay feel easier and more comforting. By the time of his discharge, the bond they formed left a lasting impression on both.

Blake Olsen, Manager of the Cardiac Unit, says, “Migena showed that even as an ancillary team member, we are all responsible to ensure exceptional care and compassion. In my experience, small acts lead to big impressions and Migena showed this through the services she provided.”

Congratulations, Migena, and thank you for the impact you make every day! 🎉

📦 Special delivery for our smallest patients 🍼 This week we received our first delivery of children’s books donated by the Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County. Families in our NICU receive the book titled “Otter’s Heart Family” to read with their babies and take home upon discharge, helping continue bonding, build self-esteem and develop emotional wellness. Manatee Memorial is one of only 45 hospitals participating in the Florida Perinatal Quality Collaborative (FPQC) program and the only hospital offering the book in both English and Spanish. 👏

The initiative comes through the Supporting Optimal Outcomes Through a Healing Environment (SOOTHE), which was launched by FPQC in October 2025. 📚 SOOTHE helps create a neurocreative environment in the NICU that supports healthy brain development for babies. Thank you to our NICU nurses for participating in this wonderful initiative! 💚
