Nurse Brooke LeBlanc is surrounded by team members at Rumford Hospital.
RUMFORD — Brooke LeBlanc, a nurse who works in the Emergency Department at Rumford Hospital, is the recipient of the DAISY Award.
The award is part of an international recognition program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary compassionate, skillful care nurses give daily.
LeBlanc, who lives in Carthage, was nominated by fellow nurse Denise Harvey.
“We recently had a patient who required some extra TLC,” Harvey said. “Brooke LeBlanc went above and beyond to make sure that not only were the patient’s needs met, but that she had the emotional support and continuity that her complicated situation needed. She stayed many hours longer than her shift to provide additional support through the patient’s ER visit. Brooke is a skilled and compassionate nurse who we are lucky to have at Rumford Hospital.”
