I am writing to nominate Cat Wynns for her outstanding commitment to ethical patient care. Her dedication to ensuring that the patient's best interests are always at the forefront of care decisions has been truly exemplary.
 
Cat consistently demonstrates a profound commitment to ethical principles by regularly bringing the need for ethical consults to the attention of the care team. A recent situation highlights her exceptional advocacy - Cat was involved with a patient who had been admitted for several months without a clear care plan. She persistently advocated for an ethical review, ensuring that the patient’s and family's concerns were thoroughly addressed. Her efforts led to the convening of an interdisciplinary care team meeting, where a comprehensive care plan was established, something that had been lacking previously. 
 
She used courage and strength to promote ethical decision-making and lead with compassion to contribute to our healthy and ethical practice environment. Cat’s unwavering advocacy for the patient's wishes and her proactive approach in raising ethical concerns whenever she feels they are warranted is a testament to her dedication and professionalism. Her actions not only improved the care provided to the patient but also reinforced the ethical standards of our practice. She truly embodies our NGHS Core Value of Passion for Excellence. 
 
For her remarkable dedication to ethical patient care and her tireless efforts to ensure that every patient’s voice is heard and respected, I wholeheartedly nominate Cat Wynns for this recognition.
