Thank you for treating not only me and my husband with respect and sympathy, but also for treating Penelope with dignity. When our car pulled up to go home, I stood up and we hugged. I told her I hope the next time our lives cross paths that she is helping our rainbow baby into this world.” Coach Award – Anna-Kay Bailey, OBICU “Anna-Kay recognizes coaching as an opportunity not only to share her wealth of knowledge, but also to individually grow as a nurse and informal leader. Anna-Kay advocates fiercely for her patients and truly demonstrates the IU Health values of compassion and purpose when coaching. She is an excellent role model for nurses new to our unit and a valued member of our team.” Margaret Martin-Roth Award – Stacy Nance, Hematology & Oncology Infusion & Surgery Clinic “Stacy represents what every professional nurse should strive to be. She is professionally engaged, utilizing her clinical expertise to advocate for her patients and team members. She fosters relationships with her patients, their families, her team and many disciplines at Riley. She embraces learning and has a spirit of inquiry.
