Covenant Health Roane Nurses Honored for Clinical Excellence

Three nurses recognized for exceptional care and compassion.

Three Covenant Health Roane nurses were recipients of the 2023 East Tennessee Nursing Excellence Awards. The award recognizes exceptional patient care, and the compassion registered nurses regularly give their patients in areas throughout the hospital. These nurses were nominated by their coworkers and chosen by a panel of leaders in the Tennessee chapter of the American Organization for Nursing Leadership.

The Covenant Health Roane recipients of the award were:

• Jenny Adcox, BSN, RN, surgical services manager
• Ayn Brockman, RN, critical care unit
• Savannah Nyholm, RN, medical-surgical unit

“Each of these nurses have been commended by their peers, leadership and patients for their supportive attitudes, compassionate care, and always going above and beyond,” said Brenda Gray, chief nursing officer at Covenant Health Roane. “We are honored to celebrate them and present them with this distinguished recognition. I am filled with enormous pride to present these three nurses with this award.”

These recipients make a positive difference in patient outcomes, participate in activities and practice sessions to improve the patient experience, exhibit improvement efforts, encourage teamwork, and demonstrate personal growth in their practice.

Congratulations to these recipients and thank you for your commitment to excellence and our patients!
