Michelle Cunha, RN, Nurse Manager in the Emergency Department (ED), has been selected as Johnson Memorial Hospital's Colleague of the Month for April.
Described as “selfless, dedicated, and humble,” Michelle joined the Johnson team almost five years ago. Since then, colleagues have come to see her as someone who “turns challenges into opportunities” and constantly focuses on improving patient care and the work environment for her team of providers and support staff. Colleagues appreciate that Michelle makes time “to be bedside for the patients in the ED” and is always ready to help in whatever capacity she is needed. In one nomination form, a colleague wrote that Michelle not only has a positive impact on Johnson, but she is also an asset to the local community. Michelle recently oversaw a clothing drive to gather items for distribution to patients in need, collecting pants, shirts, sweaters, jackets, shoes and sneakers, as well as gloves and hats – ultimately restocking the closet to capacity.
