HRHCare Nurse Wins Planetree Award

HRHCare, a nonprofit, federally qualified health care system offering a range of medical services for underserved communities throughout the Hudson Valley and Long Island, is proud to announce that OB/GYN Nurse Cheryl Chambers, RN, BSN, BS Psy, MSGC, will be presented with a Planetree Award for excellence in patient care. HRHCare’s Planetree Institute presents these awards to employees who go above and beyond to make health care more personalized and create a warm and welcoming environment for all.

As an OB/GYN nurse at one of HRHCare’s newest sites, the Martin Luther King Jr. Health Center in Wyandanch, Chambers came to HRHCare after serving as a Prenatal Coordinator with Good Samaritan Hospital under the auspices of the Suffolk County Department of Health. In her few months with HRHCare she has already brought an invaluable wealth of knowledge and professionalism to the job as well as a sense of warmth and respect for her patients and fellow employees. “Do things the proper way the first time, and treat others the way you would like to be treated,” said Chambers when asked about her personal motto. “Be respectful of everyone, regardless of whom they are or where they come from. There is no price on kindness.” In her spare time Chambers enjoys keeping fit, meditating and listening to music; “Everything from Reggae to Mozart.”

“Cheryl Chambers make patient care her top priority,” said Carol Hicks, Nurse Manager at the HRHCare Martin Luther King Jr. Health Center in Wyandanch. “She consistently shows deep concern for all of her patients, delivering care in an empathetic and non-biased way. She serves everyone with the utmost dignity, and we are so proud to have her along.”
