We recently had the distinct opportunity of recognizing Shelley Lomax, a nurse on our NICU, as a LOVE / Daisy Award recipient. Shelly was nominated for the honor by a coworker who witnessed her in action.
"I would like to nominate Shelley ... for the extraordinary compassion and empathy she showed to a family in our NICU during a very difficult time."
The nomination noted that Shelley learned of a family member of a baby in the NICU being terminally ill, and decided to gift the family with a book which would allow them to record their voice reading a sotry as a keepsake to allow the family member's "voice, love, and presence to live on."
"This simple yet profoundly meaningful act brought comfort, dignity, and humanity to a situationfilled with heartbreak. It reflected Shelley's ability to truly see the family, honor their story, and care for them far beyond their medical needs."
Congratulations, Shelley! Thank you for your great work in exemplifying what it means to serve with empathy at Layton Hospital!
