We are honored to have the opportunity to recognize each of these heroes. In our book, they are all Heroes of the Year!
Be sure to read all our heroes’ stories here.
To her patients, Kathy is considered family for the care and love she gives. One of Kathy’s patients wrote to us about her large impact on those in her care. This patient, at a young age, went through a bone marrow transplant and chemotherapy. She says Kathy was the best nurse, going above and beyond to give her superior care.
As this young patient struggled with seeing others in similar situations pass away, Kathy was there to keep her spirits up – offering encouragement and a shoulder to cry on. Once she was healthy again, Kathy helped her restart her college dreams, even helping to locate scholarships. To this day, Kathy calls and emails her patient to make sure she is doing well.
Kathy goes above and beyond, making a personal connection with her patients and following through after treatment ends. She is an inspiration for her fellow nurses, and a great finalist for hero of the year!

Kathy goes above and beyond her duties for these transplant patients and family. She was in the room when they told me that my daughter Kayla was going to have to go through a Bone Marrow Transplant. Immediately she grabbed me and Hugged me and comforted me. Unless you enter the BMT world you will never be able to imagine what these kids go through and having a caring Nurse like Kathy helps alot.
