The Department of Urology at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center partnered with Mid-Penn Bank to raise $241,000 for men’s health and cancer research as part of their annual No-Shave November campaign - an increase of approximately $100,000 from last year’s total. No—Shave November is a month-Iong journey during which participants forgo shaving and grooming their hair. The goal is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free. Donate the money that is typically spent on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in the United States. About one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year.
Hampden Medical Center presented the DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award to two Women and Babies nurses who provided special care to a mother who lost her baby. Christy Miller and Kelly Smeltz, both registered nurses on the Women’s Health unit, provided care to the patient through a traumatic time and helped her begin a journey to healing. The mother nominated Miller and Smeltz through a heartfelt letter that Regional Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer Leslynn Williamson read to the award recipients and their team. “These two nurses are exactly what is needed in a hospital, and definitely when times are bad,” the patient wrote. “I wish them the best. Even though I am so hurt, the acts of kindness and lovingness started to make me feel a little better. I want to thank them a million times. I am grateful to have had them as my nurses.”
Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center presented the November DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award to Angela Rader, a registered nurse on 2 North. The accolade recognizes nurses for their skillful, compassionate care and their daily support of patients and families. Two of Rader’s coworkers nominated her for noticing a patient’s inability to launder his clothing and taking them home with her to do it for him. In addition to washing his clothes, she returned to the hospital with a bag of new clothing so he had clean clothes after discharge. “Angie’s act of generosity and kindness was a true attestation that not only does she care about her patients with fine-tuned clinical expertise, but also with compassion and care,” they said. “Angie consistently sets a great example for her teammates and shows us all that being a good nurse is about much more than having a great set of nursing skills. Angie makes it clear that she is driven by the warmth of her heart, as she makes a difference in the lives of our patients.”
