March 2026 Honoree
Morgan Nadeau, BSN, RN
I was a patient at the hospital. I am a 26-year-old single father to three little girls. I have twin one-year-old girls and a three-year-old girl. I went to the ER with a terrible headache, neck stiffness, and a fever. The ER said I more than likely had meningitis, and after that I was rushed by ambulance to the ICU at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown.
When I was moved from the ICU to general admission, my nurse, Morgan, made sure she was always available if I needed anything. Not only did I have the call button, but she provided her extension number in case I needed anything. Knowing I didn't have to rely on just a call button, but could use the hospital phone to talk to her, put me at ease and allowed me a sense of relief that I have never experienced before.
She would also talk to me and laugh at my jokes, which, for me, is obviously very important. I saw how much she cared. She provided top-tier care and made sure I was comfortable at all times.
When I was scared but obviously not showing it, when I was sad, and when I was having a rough time, at no point did Morgan turn her back or turn a blind eye. She was there and made sure I had the best care any person could ask for.
The motivation and determination of these two individuals I have never before seen the likes of. I can never thank Morgan enough for everything she has done for me.
