Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center celebrated their latest SUNSHINE Award recipient, Cheryl Hurd, CNA, on Wednesday, March 29.

She makes patient rounding a priority every day to ensure her patients are comfortable and treated with courtesy and respect. She helps meet the needs of the unit by being flexible and offering to work nights and takes pride in showing her caring behaviors to staff and patients.
