UHS Delaware Valley Hospital in Walton has presented this year’s Sally Dean Award to registered nurse Kathleen Ulmschneider.
According to a media release, the award honors the memory of another registered nurse, Sally Dean, who during her tenure at Delaware Valley was reported to be truly committed, dedicated and someone who treated her co-workers, patients and their visitors with compassion.
Ulmschneider began at DVH in 2001 as a charge nurse in the special care unit, as well as serving as a nursing supervisor. In 2015, she continued as nursing supervisor but also began serving as an emergency department nurse.
In nominating Ulmschneider, staff spoke of her willingness to come in on short notice to cover a staff call-out, or arrive early and/or stay longer when necessary. Described by co-workers as an adviser and teacher, she also helps mentor younger nurses.
