CLEARFIELD – Practical Nursing student, Kaitlyn Best was nominated for the July 2023 Sunflower Award by classmates Lisa Patton and Pamela Hunt.
Kaitlyn is being recognized for her strengths in going above and beyond expectations in the care of her patients, support to fellow students, facility members or communities.
The sunflower was chosen as it represents happiness, optimism, honesty, longevity, peace, admiration and devotion.
The sunflower surpasses all others in terms of its universal power to bring people joy – all qualities future nurses hope to possess and show to their patients.
