Today, I honor a nurse who keeps our Mother-Baby Unit running strong. Chrisan, your dedication to colleagues and patients is nothing short of amazing! As a registered nurse, you understand the rewards and challenges of the nursing profession. You use those insights to help nurses and the Family Birthplace harness power in resilience. The quality of the patients' experience and empowering your staff with the skills, structure, and support they need to thrive are among your top priorities.

Chrisan, you exhibit everything one envisions when thinking about what a nurse should be. You demonstrate compassion not only for patients and their families but also for your colleagues. Whenever a staff member needs assistance, you are always there. You genuinely love what you do, and it shows in your enthusiasm for educating others in a way that helps them feel accomplished and competent.

As a leader on the Mother-Baby unit, you are an invaluable resource to the entire team. As humble as you are competent, you are an outstanding teacher who is always willing to share your expertise. I have always believed that nursing is a true blend of art and science, and that blend is embodied in Chrisan's practice. Thank you for your dedication to this profession.
