Each year the neonatal team nominates and then votes on individuals for the Neonatology and Newborn Medicine Excellence Award. The Neonatology and Newborn Medicine Excellence Award goes to an individual who promotes the optimal care of newborns by advancing and supporting education, research, quality improvement, and overall clinical care.
This individual promotes multidisciplinary teamwork amongst all providers, nurses, staff, neonatal patients, and their families and is seen as a leader by others while working in a collaborative effort to promote excellence in patient care.
We love our multidisciplinary team and are grateful for all that they do for our neonatal patients and team!
