Amanda Frost, an acute care LPN at Taylorville Memorial Hospital, is the nonprofit hospital’s Colleague of the Month for July.
Frost sees things that need to be done and jumps in without hesitation. Her nominator wrote about a specific patient in isolation who was feeling depressed being alone in the room. Once the patient was out of isolation, Frost took the initiative to talk with the patient and go for many walks around the unit to break up the routine.
“Amanda is overall an exceptional nurse, but there are many times working with her that I notice how she goes above and beyond for her patients and co-workers,” wrote the nominator. “She has a heart of gold and always provides the best quality care. She has a deep concern for all of her patients.”
Frost has worked for Taylorville Memorial Hospital since 2023.
