2019 Hospital Hero Jenine Morgan, Northside Hospital Gwinnett

Last year, while working at the hospital’s skilled nursing facility, Jenine Morgan noticed a fellow nurse who looked dizzy and as though she did not feel well. Morgan examined the nurse and checked her blood pressure, which was extremely high. Morgan immediately called for an ambulance to quickly transport the nurse to the emergency room. As the nurse was being loaded onto a stretcher, her sister, also a nurse at the facility, wanted to accompany her but had no one to cover her work responsibilities. Morgan instantly offered to cover this nurse’s workload so she could accompany her sister to the hospital.

Morgan’s actions likely saved the nurse’s life, who, it turned out, had a mini stroke. Thanks to Morgan’s quick assessment and decision-making, the nurse was able to receive rapid treatment and had no lasting adverse effects.
