Sara and Amanda go above and beyond for the pediatric diabetic patients and their families. They know the importance of newly diagnosed pediatric diabetic inpatients going home with the proper medications and supplies. They connect with the inpatient nurses and using technology, including pictures, make sure these families have what they need to be successful at home and come back to the hospital. Sara and Amanda will coordinate after hours and on weekends as needed. They take pride in knowing that due to their collaboration and diligence these patients are not readmitted in the first 30-60 days.
With COVID many of these young patients have lost the support of the school nurse in their health journey. Sara and Amanda have been extra creative in working to ensure these patients have an effective support system for their health. Kudos to Sara and Amanda for their great work.
