Ocean City Nurse Is Hospital's 'Guardian Angel Of The Month'

SOMERS POINT, NJ — An Ocean City emergency room nurse was named as Shore Medical Center's "August Guardian Angel of the Month."

Tyler Brito, RN, BSN, was chosen thanks to the "passionate and exceptional care" he provides to patients, the hospital announced in a release.

The Guardian Angel program allows community members to thank Shore's caregivers through a donation in their honor.

Brito, who has been at Shore for two and a half years, is passionate about his role and always strives to do his best, according to Shore Director of Emergency Services, Sherri Richmond, MSN, RN.

"Tyler is always willing to go the extra mile to assist his coworkers. He is a team player, hardworking, knowledgeable, compassionate, and empathetic, as well as a great critical thinker," Richmond said.

The patient who honored Brito with the donation said "Tyler took care of me in the Emergency Department during my short stay. He was kind, attentive, reassuring and knowledgeable. It was comforting having him there."

Brito lives with his wife, Heena, in Ocean City, and enjoys sailing and boating in his spare time.

Guardian Angels are recognized among their peers and presented with a Guardian Angel pin at Shore’s annual pinning ceremony, the hospital said. Call Shore’s Planned Giving & Development Department at 609-653-3800 to honor a Shore Medical Center Guardian Angel.
