Late November we celebrated the 2020 Mission Legacy Award ceremony at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. The Mission Legacy Award recognizes key individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to contribute to the legacy and mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton, St. Joseph's Health System, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and its Foundation.
Each month we will feature a few of the award recipients to share a bit more about how they have made meaningful contributions throughout their time with our health care organization.
This month we feature Ms. Felida Toledo and Manager Group (Mr. Kyle Davies, Ms. Theresa Jean Nuxoll, Ms. Jody Williams, Ms. Edyta Mnich) at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton.
Ms. Felida Toledo As a Spiritual Care Provider, Felida Toledo’s presence in the Intensive Care Unit has given solace to innumerable patients and families. Her work requires sensitivity, knowledge, and flexibility as she interacts with diverse patients and relatives with a range of spiritual needs and variable capacity to deal with illness and injury. Whether it’s day or night, she provides staff with the courage and strength needed to care for the most vulnerable patients at times when they need comfort.
Manager Group (Mr. Kyle Davies, Ms. Theresa Jean Nuxoll, Ms. Jody Williams, Ms. Edyta Mnich) The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented challenges and the Nurse Managers of the CTU & ALC units have gone above and beyond to ensure patient safety in the hospital and the community. Whether it was working late assisting with admissions, helping to learn and implement new policies and procedures, or moving entire units; they continually adapted to the changes and needs for space and staffing. This Management team’s leadership and resilience exemplifies the values of St. Joe’s through this pandemic.
