September 2026 Honoree
Antoinette Briscoe, RN, BSN
I would like to take a moment to recognize and sincerely thank nurse Antoinette (Toni) Briscoe, who cared for my dad on the Progressive Care Unit. Toni was truly exceptional - from the moment she started caring for my dad, she treated him with so much love, kindness, patience, and compassion. She made him feel like family, and that meant more to me than I can put into words. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answer our questions, and make sure my dad was comfortable and cared for. Her warmth and genuine concern brought comfort to our entire family during what was an emotional and difficult time.
As a daughter, seeing someone care for your father with the same tenderness and respect that you would give him yourself touches your heart deeply. Toni went above and beyond, and I will never forget the kindness she showed my dad. Toni is truly a gem, and she is an incredible reflection of what nursing is supposed to be—compassionate, caring, knowledgeable, and human.
Thank you, Toni, for taking such wonderful care of my dad and for treating him like family. You touched my heart in a way you may never fully know. God bless you, Toni, and thank you for being such a beautiful human being. You are truly appreciated.
