Robyn Anderson-Malico, a nurse at the James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center in University Heights was one of 10 honorees nationwide to be given the National Cherokee Inspired Comfort Award. The award is given out yearly to recognize health care professionals and nurses who leave a lasting impression on patients with their outstanding service.
“When a patient holds your hand, smiles at you and says ‘Thank you for being here for me. Your voice, touch, and skill allowed me to get through what seemed unbearable,’ the gratification you feel is immeasurable,” said Anderson-Malico at the ceremony. “As a nurse, I am privileged to be a part of someone’s life and to help ease some of the most difficult moments and share some of the happiest ones.”
Anderson-Malico, 39, lives in Yorktown Heights.
