Lacey Nepote, 2025

On a particularly busy day, Lacey Nepote went above and beyond to fulfill a heartfelt birthday wish for one of our patients. Despite the challenges and demands of the unit, she made time to provide a moment of dignity and comfort that deeply touched everyone involved.

The patient had requested a shower—something that seemed unlikely given the circumstances. But Lacey made it happen. She stayed with him for nearly an hour, ensuring his safety and comfort throughout. What stood out most was not just the act itself, but the way she carried it out—with gentleness, patience, and genuine compassion. Thank you, Lacey for treating our patients like family.

Healthier, together.
