LINCOLN – Lindsey Fink is the recipient of the DAISY Award for Nursing Excellence at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital.
Fink was nominated by a patient at the nonprofit hospital to receive the award. In the nomination form, the patient wrote, One of the nurses stands out as a shining star. Lindsey’s compassion, empathy and gentle manner was just what my son and I needed. She has a soft and soothing voice and is so comforting, always taking her time to talk with my son.”
Fink is a registered nurse on the acute care unit at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. She graduated from Methodist College in Peoria in May 2020 and has a bachelor’s degree in animal science from West Virginia University. Fink and her husband live in Lincoln with three dogs and two cats.
Colorado’s kids need our help.
Our state is not just dealing with the continuing health, social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Data from the most recent America’s Health Rankings shows that even before the pandemic started, Colorado youth had comparatively low high school graduation rates (ranked 44th in the country), and higher rates of teen suicide (43rd in the country).
Most public health challenges such as these have been exacerbated this past year, as COVID has undermined normal, healthy routines by isolating people from one another and causing higher levels of anxiety and depression.
To help address these issues, Rocky Mountain Health Plans, a UnitedHealthcare company, recently announced a $30 million donation to increase access to health care and support communities across Colorado.
