Fishermen’s Community Hospital Names 2021 Nurse of the Year
To be considered for the Nurse of the Year honor, nurses are nominated by their peers or a community member for a variety of reasons; Ms. Matyas was nominated more than once. Nurses who receive the honor are chosen by the Collaborative Nurse Practice Council at Fishermen’s Community Hospital for demonstrating excellence though their abilities and outstanding leadership. Nurse of the Year recipients are noted as being compassionate, knowledgeable, ethical, helpful and thoughtful. They also collaborate with the interdisciplinary team and mentor their colleagues.
Ms. Matyas, who has been with the hospital for six years, is recognized for her commitment to the profession of nursing and for delivering high-quality care to all patients. She is described as being hardworking, honest, empathetic and compassionate to patients, families and coworkers. She is commended for taking the time to assist and teach other nurses and answer questions with an upbeat, positive and encouraging attitude.
“We are so honored to recognize this extraordinary nurse who goes above and beyond to deliver compassionate care,” said Cheryl Cottrell, vice president and chief nursing officer of Fishermen’s Community Hospital. “Natalie is a great asset to her patients and our team.”
