Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital recently awarded Nancy Ababa-Fussle, a registered nurse in the medical/surgical department, with its 2022 Nursing Excellence Award.

The Nursing Excellence Award was created to honor the critical role nurses have played in treating patients throughout the pandemic. The peer-nominated award program was open to qualifying RNs and licensed practical nurses working in a direct patient care position who consistently demonstrate nursing excellence characteristics including outstanding care, compassion, service and innovation. Nominees are also demonstrated team players and/or mentors to others; leaders in times of crises; and someone who regularly promotes health in the community.

Ababa-Fussle joined the Lutheran Kosciusko team in 2018 and is often mentioned by patients for providing outstanding care, sitting with them and holding their hands, talking with patients and their families, listening to questions and concerns and advocating for their best care.

In addition to the Nursing Excellence Award, Ababa-Fussle also received a cash prize and a copy of “Shining the Light on All the Right - Celebrating the Art of Nursing Around the World” by Mark and Bonnie Barnes, co-founders of The DAISY Foundation, an international movement created to recognize and express gratitude for extraordinary nursing.
