Leighanne received the award on April 3 from AMH President Dave Braasch and Penny Krause, manager of Respiratory Therapy.

The nomination from an anonymous co-worker said, “While rounding on MCU today, Leighanne stopped to update a nurse on a COVID patient. She explained what she had done and what they could do as a team to improve the respiratory status of this patient. It struck me what a team player she is. I commented how great this was and the nurse told me how many COVID patients Leighanne had helped. She has demonstrated service excellence, leadership, strategic thinking, and personal accountability.”
