Alicia was nominated by her supervisor, who said that Alicia was the primary nurse for a little boy who was born 16 weeks early. Alicia encouraged and supported the parents in loving and taking care of their son. A letter from the parents said that Alicia “cared for our son, taking a deep and personal interest in his care and in him as a person,” and they were grateful for the support she provided the wife in the most difficult moments when the husband could not be there.
