Ms. Kebia Bellamy is being recognized for her exceptional care of Minister QJ during his critical stay in the ICU at Emory Johns Creek Hospital from February 23rd to 26th. Minister QJ, a beloved figure from St. James Community Church in Alpharetta, was admitted following a devastating hemorrhagic stroke. From our initial encounter, Ms. Bellamy demonstrated a remarkable blend of clinical expertise and profound empathy. She attended to the complexities of Minister QJ condition with precision, while simultaneously providing unwavering support to his wife, who remained at his bedside around the clock.

Ms. Bellamy's ability to balance medical necessity with compassionate communication was truly extraordinary. She helped address questions with clarity and sensitivity, offering information, but not beyond her authority and avoiding false hope. Despite the constant flow of visitors, Ms. Bellamy maintained a pleasant and respectful presence. She performed necessary procedures with quiet efficiency, integrating her work into the emotional tension of the room. Her gentle demeanor and genuine concern were consistently noted by family and friends.

As a board member of a local hospital in a different system, I understand the high standards of care expected in this setting. Ms. Bellamy's performance exceeded those expectations. Her attentiveness, bedside manner, and genuine respect for Minister Jones and his family during this incredibly difficult time were truly exemplary. She embodies the very essence of outstanding nursing care. 

This is Kebia's Second Award!
