Nurses Month and Healthcare Week were celebrated in May with a focus on nurse and staff appreciation. Nurse’s given a nurse hat-shaped cookie with a statement attached as to why they became a nurse. To show further appreciation, all HHC staff enjoyed an ice cream social sundae bar, taco food truck, succulent plants and coffee. Thank you for growing with our Riverside Home Health Family.
Meet our newest DAISY award recipient, Chloe Hanegraaf. Chloe is an ICU Registered Nurse at Riverside Healthcare. The DAISY Award is an honor that recognizes the exceptional, skillful, and compassionate care these nurses demonstrate for our patients and families every day.
Her nomination read, “Coming to the ICU with my husband in critical condition was very scary. The amount of care and compassion exceeded any expectations I could ever imagine. Not only with my husband but with me also. Chloe is an incredible nurse. She went above and beyond with comforting my husband and I. Her communication with us was also incredible. She was extremely knowledgeable and informative, making sure we understood. … I’m not sure I have ever met a more compassionate, comforting and knowledgeable person, and I know I have never met a nurse like her. On every level, she was amazing! Thank you, Chloe, for every single thing you helped us [with], and we are forever grateful for you. Much love and appreciation.”
