Meet Kellyn!✨
On today's we are so excited to introduce you to Kellyn. Kellyn is a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at Children's Specialized Hospital's Union site. Kellyn is a cherished part of the CSH community and was recently awarded the IRIS award!
The IRIS award recognizes an outstanding Certified Nurse Assistant whose compassion, dedication and professionalism elevate the care experience for our patients and families everyday. This award honors individuals who consistently go above and beyond.
"To me, being a CNA means caring for others with compassion, patience, and kindness. It’s about being there for patients during vulnerable moments and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I treat my patients the same way I would want my own family to be treated, which is why I always try to give the best care possible.
One of the proudest moments of my career at CSH has been receiving the IRIS award. To me, this award represents the impact I’ve made on my patients, their families, and my coworkers.
A fun fact about being a CNA is we spend the most one-on-one time with patients, which means we get to build strong bonds and make a real difference in their day."
Today is National Certified Nursing Assistant Day and we are proud to have such amazing CNAs who make such an impact on patients, families, and staff at CSH. Thank you Kellyn and all of our CSH Certified Nursing Assistants.
