Last week, we proudly hosted a surprise ceremony to celebrate Stephanie, a nurse in our Emergency Department!

In 2025, Stephanie was driving home from a shift when she witnessed a serious car accident in Sandwich. Stephanie jumped into action, and the on-scene aid she provided saved the life of a young man involved in the accident.

Stephanie’s brother, moved by her act of bravery, reached out to State Representative Steve Xiarhos, their local state representative, to notify him of her heroism.

At this ceremony, Rep. Steven Xiarhos personally presented Stephanie with a certificate of recognition from the Massachusetts House of Representatives, which cited Stephanie for her “willingness to help our community through [her] bravery and lifesaving efforts in response to a vehicle crash.”

The deserved celebration was planned by Stephanie’s family, colleagues, and Rep. Xiarhos. We’re fortunate to have dedicated, quick-thinking caregivers like Stephanie on our team.

Congratulations on this recognition, Stephanie! Thank you for all that you do!
