Zach Winker, RN, Recognized for Exceptional Patient Care

Stewart Memorial Community Hospital is pleased to announce that nurse Zacharina Winker has been awarded the SMCH Exceptional Experience award for her outstanding dedication to patient care.

Winker was nominated by fellow nurse Ashley Mork for her exceptional efforts in assisting a patient with breastfeeding challenges. Despite not being assigned to the patient during their lab visit, Winker took the time to offer guidance and support, significantly improving the patient’s breastfeeding success.

“Zach’s dedication and compassion had a huge impact on this patient’s journey,” said Mork. “Her teaching was invaluable, and without her help, things could have been quite different.”

The SMCH Exceptional Experience award recognizes employees who go above and beyond their job duties to provide exceptional care to patients. Winker’s commitment to patient well-being exemplifies the values of SMCH and its dedication to providing the highest quality care to the community.
