Nurse's big heart for babies lands her national award

Nurse's big heart for babies lands her national award: "The best way to illustrate why she received that honor is to describe what happened 10 years ago, when a tiny girl came under Hall’s care. Like Kashmir, Kristianne Lilly was born at 26 weeks. She weighed 1 pound, 7 ounces, and Hall was her primary nurse. Kristianne’s mother, Mary Ann Lilly, remembers that time in her life and the role the nurse played in it.
 
“It was so hard, and Stephanie made it better by taking time to explain complicated medical terms, encouraging our family to take care of ourselves, letting me stay by Kristi’s side, and coordinating Kristi’s care with the neonatologist and others,” Lilly said."
