Two Mount Sinai Health System employees recently received 2015 Wholeness of Life Awards from the HealthCare Chaplaincy NetworkTM for their commitment to teamwork and professional relationships in providing compassionate and respectful care to patients in crisis. A third Wholeness of Life Award was given posthumously to the family of Beth Faitelewicz, RN, a nurse who served in the Emergency Department at Mount Sinai Beth Israel.
Laurie Chameides, LCSW, and Michotte Nabua, RN, received their awards at the HealthCare Chaplaincy Network’s annual gala at the Mandarin Oriental, New York. Ms. Chameides is a social worker in the Obstetrics-Perinatal Bereavement Program at The Mount Sinai Hospital; and Ms. Nabua is a staff nurse, Emergency Department, Mount Sinai West.
The HealthCare Chaplaincy Network—a global, nonprofit organization that offers spiritual care-related information and resources to hospitals and health care institutions—established the awards in 1986 to honor individuals who provide wholeness of care in body, mind, and spirit.
