Congratulations to our September 2025 Award honoree, Mary Iwen, RN/MHU-Girls Specialty!

Mary's nomination read: "Mary came down to the ER bring a pediatric MH patient up to the unit. The patient had started to escalate right before going upstairs, prn medications had just been ordered by the ER physician and Mary was able to de-escalate the patient and bring him upstairs without any chemical intervention. The patient responded so well to her and Mary's collaboration and experience with this situation helped facilitate a safe, effective transport for the patient. The next day we had another kiddo in the ER who was waiting to be admitted up to the pediatric MH unit and Mary recognized the consent for
admission had been incorrect. Mary brought this to CID's attention so they were able to obtain correct documentation and consent. Mary's knowledge and expertise is a huge asset and proven in both of these situations. Thank you Mary!!!"
