LaNette’s compassion and dedication to others truly shine, even when she’s off the clock. On her day off, she happened to be at the West Fargo clinic when she noticed a young man who had fallen off his bike. Without hesitation, she went over to check on him and quickly realized he had a deep cut that would likely need stitches.

Instead of waiting for someone else to step in, LaNette took action. She flagged down a passing fire truck to get some bandages for him, then rushed back into the clinic to grab a wheelchair. She personally made sure the young man was brought inside to be seen by the walk-in team, ensuring he got the care he needed. This is just who LaNette is.

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside her at the Moorhead clinic. This moment perfectly captures the kind of nurse she is—someone who goes above and beyond, not because it’s her job, but because she genuinely cares about people. Whether it’s her patients or her coworkers, LaNette always puts others first. She’s not just a wonderful nurse; she’s the kind of person who makes you feel seen, valued, and cared for. Moments like this remind me how lucky we are to have her.
