She makes her patients feel seen, heard and comforted

Saprina Givhan, LPN, is the recipient of the 2025 Sunshine Award

Saprina exemplifies teamwork and patient care, showcasing her unwavering dedication and compassion for her profession. She not only cares for her patients as individuals - making them feel seen, heard and comforted - but also supports her coworkers. As an acute care assistant, I feel truly valued working alongside her. 

When I asked her to help shower a difficult patient, she never hesitated because no task is below her. Her positivity can transform even the busiest hallway into a space of calm and efficiency. Always in motion, Saprina is a respected and deeply appreciated coworker.
