Yesterday, we had the privilege of surprising two extraordinary members of Spencer Hospital’s Birth Center team with Daisy Awards in recognition of their exceptional care and dedication to our patients. 💚
Bethany Schiefelbein, RN, was nominated by a patient who shared her experience: “I had my second baby in October ’24. I was new to Spencer Hospital and hoping for a VBAC. I ended up needing to be induced, and Bethany was the nurse who checked me in that afternoon. My induction took multiple days, and by Friday night, Bethany was back for a weekend of night shifts. I became emotional, frustrated with my body, and missed my son at home. Bethany was a calming, reassuring presence and helped me refocus. The next day, labor progressed quickly, and by that night Bethany was back again—just in time for me to give birth. The night before, I had felt defeated and ready to give up. Without Bethany’s compassion and encouragement, I may have. I am so grateful for my experience at Spencer Hospital. Dr. Keith, Bethany, and the entire nursing team were exceptional.”
Roxanne Warburton, RN, was nominated by a grateful patient who shared: “I was a 22-year-old first-time mom coming off a difficult few weeks of pregnancy. After learning my water had been leaking and my birth plan needed to change, I felt anxious and scared—especially knowing a doctor I had never met would be delivering my baby. Roxanne came in with a big smile and her warm, bubbly personality, immediately reassuring me that they would honor my birth plan as much as possible. She walked me through every step, never left my side, and offered a hand to hold, breathing and relaxation techniques, and constant encouragement through every push until my daughter arrived. Her positivity lit up the room and made my labor experience unforgettable. Even afterward, she ensured I had time to rest and that everything was completed quickly so we could go home as a family of three. I will never forget how empowered and calm she made me feel, and I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this award.”
Congratulations to Bethany and Roxanne on this well-deserved recognition!
