Laura Piedmont

The office staff enjoyed selecting, and are pleased to announce, Laura Piedmont as our 2010 Employee of the Year. Laura has been described by a CNS parents as “wonderful, warm hearted, soft spoken and because of her calm demeanor…pleasant to be around. And we couldn’t agree more.

Laura readily recognizes the best in her co-workers and praises them often with Heart to Heart Appreciation notes. Co-workers recognize her strengths as well and have written Heart to Heart Appreciation notes back to include a special “thanks” for a “complete and professional orientation” that made further shifts much better for the client and orienting nurse. On another occasion a Heart to Heart was written for “having the courage to speak up” about a controversial issue at a care conference. Laura ALWAYS puts the requirements of client care first and is a fantastic advocate for the physical as well as the emotional and spiritual needs of medically fragile children.

Laura has been a CNS nurse for exactly one year and two weeks after moving to Portland from Virginia. She was playing on-line looking at area non-profits and accidentally discovered CNS…..and we are so lucky that she did! Please join us in congratulating Laura on this most deserving honor.
