Jocelyn Leavitt is more than just a leader; she is the definition of dedication and leadership, and she continues to set the highest standard for patient care and team support. Her compassion, dedication and unwavering support for both patient and staff are qualities that have defined her almost 20 years of service here at Sunrise.

Over the course of her career, she has touched countless lives and not just through exceptional patient care, but also through her unwavering support for our nurses. Affectionately known as "Mama Jo", she has earned this nickname because of the way she nurtures, guides, and advocates for her team. Whether mentoring new nurses or offering steady reassurance during challenging shifts, Jocelyn is always there to lead by example.

Her leadership is quiet yet powerful, rooted in accountability, compassion, and kindness. Jocelyn leads by example, showing us what it means to put patients first and to care for one another as a team. She doesn't just talk about values like compassion and integrity; she lives them.

As Jocelyn approaches 20 years with Sunrise this January, It's impossible not to reflect on the countless lives she has impacted along the way. Her commitment to our community, her devotion to her nurses, and her endless heart of service are what make her a true DAISY Nurse. Jocelyn is the person who reminds us why we chose this profession and why we stay.

Jocelyn is the very best.
