For Ashlyn Haggard, Lakeside Women’s Hospital INTEGRIS Health has always been more than just a workplace. It's where her story began 22 years ago.
Now, more than two decades later, Ashlyn has returned to the very place where she took her first breath, working as a nurse tech in the nursery while pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
In her role, Ashlyn helps care for newborns and supports nurses and families during some of life’s most meaningful moments. For her, each shift is a reminder of how powerful compassionate care can be.
“What makes it so special is knowing that I was once one of those babies,” Ashlyn said. “Now I get to help care for babies and be there for families during the first moments of their own stories.”
Ashlyn’s journey is a full-circle moment that reflects the lasting impact healthcare workers can have on the lives of patients and families. The care her family received helped shape the beginning of her life, and now she is helping provide that same care to others.
“Lakeside will always be special to me,” Ashlyn said. “It is where my life began, and now it is where I am learning, growing and caring for others.” 💖
