According to her nomination, “Leanne always going above and beyond the call of duty. She exemplifies teamwork throughout everything she does within her unit.

She takes initiative to streamline processes and continuously pursues excellence for patients and coworkers alike. Leanne makes every patient and family member a priority. She is especially good at making them feel like they are the only focus in the moment. This makes her a great example of what patient care should look like. Leanne consistently finds new ways to help coworkers and inspires others to do the same. Her team spirit is infectious.

She would like to be remembered as the nurse that not only cared for the resident’s medical needs, but their emotional needs as well. On being honored as Memorial Healthcare’s Employee of the Month, Leanne quoted as saying, “It’s wonderful to be honored, but I couldn’t do my job without everyone on the Long-Term Care unit. Teamwork is what lets us take such good care of our residents.”
