Congratulations to our extraordinary nurse, Michelle Sclafini, Radiology Technologist, who was honored as our Champion of Nursing! This award is given to a team member who demonstrates dedication to our patients and valuable assistance to the nursing profession. 💙 🤍 Michelle has been a Radiology Tech at the Northshore Center since 2019. However, she does far more for our clinic than any one position can outline. Michelle goes above and beyond not only for her patients, but for the entire staff on the Northshore and embodies the CHNOLA values every day. Michelle supports the clinic, nurses, and providers by not only performing her x-ray duties (and performing them expertly), but she is cross trained in multiple other areas in order to be able to fill in wherever she is needed. She is one of our primary phlebotomists, she is able to support her own provider in clinic efficiently while also performing x-rays and drawing labs, which takes some of the burden off the nurses during clinic. She jumps in to register and check out patients, answer phones, make appointments and do whatever is needed without hesitation. Michelle also goes out of her way to ensure everyone on the Northshore team is included and feels a sense of belonging. Michelle is an enormous help to clinic management by exhibiting leadership and problem-solving skills all while displaying positivity and warmth in all her interactions. Even when she isn’t at work, Michelle is committed to supporting our community largely by co-managing 15 sober living houses throughout St Tammany. The Northshore clinic would not be nearly as successful or as fun without the hard work and dedication that Michelle personifies. We are so #CHNOLAproud of you, Michelle, and thank you to ALL of our extraordinary nurses and those who support the nursing profession! 💗🤍💗🤍💗 #PediatricNursesWeek #InOurPediatricNursesEra

She exhibits compassion with patients and families, making sure they feel supported and make their hospital stay that much more enjoyable. She does the same with her co-workers. Adrienne will always assist whenever she is needed. Adrienne goes out of her way to help others and truly cares for others like her own family. She is a leader on the unit.

Congratulations to our extraordinary nurse, Sarah Bourgeois, PICU Clinical Educator, who was honored with the Excellence in Nursing Leadership Award! 💜🤍 Sarah exemplifies the highest standards of leadership, dedication, and innovation in nursing, making her an exceptional candidate for this honor. Sarah has demonstrated remarkable commitment to advancing nursing education and supporting her colleagues. She has been instrumental in organizing educational initiatives, such as the PICU Education Day, which has significantly enhanced the learning opportunities for our nursing staff. Sarah also meets up with new cohort nurses every week for additional education in a personalized, non-stressful setting ensuring that new staff are well-prepared and confident in their roles. In addition to her educational efforts, Sarah regularly rounds on the unit to provide hands-on support and address any needs that arise. Sarah's leadership extends to innovative initiatives such as organizing "Teach Me Tuesday" sessions with physicians on a variety of topics. These sessions not only benefit our unit but also provide valuable knowledge that is shared across other ICU departments, enhancing the overall quality of care. Sarah Bourgeois is an invaluable asset to our team. Her exceptional leadership, commitment to education, and willingness to support her colleagues exemplify how deserving she is of this recognition. We are so #CHNOLAproud of you, Sarah! Stay tuned the rest of the week as we continue to honor more of our remarkable nurses during #PediatricNursesWeek! 💜🤍💜🤍💜 #InOurPediatricNursesEra

Today we gathered with friends, supporters, community leaders, and staff to celebrate a new chapter for Children’s Hospital New Orleans’ longstanding child abuse pediatrics programs with the grand opening of the new Morgan Rae Center for Hope. 💙 The new, expanded center will house the hospital’s CARE Center and Child Advocacy Center, enabling significantly more children to be served thanks to a transformational $1.5 million gift from philanthropist Jessica Brandt. The center is named in loving memory of Mrs. Brandt’s late great-granddaughter, Morgan Rae. The Center will help more children receive the care they need when there are concerns of abuse, neglect or child trafficking, with a trauma-informed, multidisciplinary approach.
