    Butterfly Award winner: Maddison Sutter

    Congratulations to the 2024 Q4 Butterfly Honoree, Maddison Sutter, CNA/Ortho-Neuro.

    Patient story: “There aren’t enough words to even describe the caring, compassion, and thoughtfulness she has towards all her patients. She has made my stay here so pleasant. She was so openly not afraid to get her hands dirty. Her job is not just a job to her it is her passion and it shows 100%. She made me laugh and she was always there to answer any questions I had. Maddie has made this visit more tolerable. This beautiful soul has so much to give and offer. She is an actual Ray of Sunshine. We are very happy and pleased to have met Maddie and she is going to make one hell of a nurse.”

    DAISY Award Winner: Alaina Wilken

    Congratulations to our newest DAISY Honoree, Alaina Wilken. Alaina is a Nurse with Labor and Delivery. The DAISY Award recognizes the exceptional, skillful, and compassionate care these nurses demonstrate for our patients and families every day.

    Her nomination read, “In August I had my second son at Riverside. The morning of my birth I sent my husband to work for a training an hour away. I was definitely in denial that I was in labor. I had an appointment with Dr. Andrew at 10 and she immediately sent me to labor and delivery because I was 5cm dilated! Due to not having my husband with me right away and having Alaina greet me with a smile was something I definitely needed. She asked me what my goals were and talked through how we could make those things happen. I didn’t have the best birthing experience with my first son in 2022 and had some trauma from it. Alaina went ABOVE and BEYOND to walk and talk me through every step of the way. She made me feel safe and heard while I was alone. My husband finally made it and we made the decision to get an epidural and break my water. A lot of my anxiety came from my negative reaction to the epidural
    the first time. Alaina walked me through the process and told me the steps she will do to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Due to the anxiety I was a sobbing mess while doing the epidural. Some of the people in the room asked me if I was in pain because I was crying so hard. I couldn’t even speak and
    Alaina looked at them all and said “Emily did not have a good experience with the epidural her first birth, but we have a plan to change that this time around. Emily is so strong and can get through this.” To say I was grateful for someone I just met that day and had full confidence she was going to take care of me
    while I am at the most vulnerable state a woman can be at is an understatement. Looking back at my second son’s birthday it was EVERYTHING I have ever dreamed of and it would not have been possible without Alaina
