Elizabeth “Liz” Tracy, a RN Unit Manager in John Knox Village’s Health Center, was recently honored with the 2014 Joan Anne McHugh Nurse Leadership Award.

 

The award recognizes “aspiring leaders who provide excellent clinical care to their residents while demonstrating leadership in long-term care nursing and a commitment to the profession.”

 

Liz graduated from Broward College with her Associate of Science in Nursing degree. It was three years ago when she landed a job at John Knox Village.

 

One example of Liz’s excellent leadership and as a resident advocate was illustrated this past year when she helped spearhead an initiative to eliminate the piercing alarm noises in our Health Center when residents at risk for falling attempted to stand without the assistance of others.
