NICU Nurse Spotlighted in USPS Healthcare Stamp Release

Story by Adventist HealthCare Staff

Last year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) unveiled its "Thank You Healthcare Community" Forever stamp, recognizing the courage, resilience and sacrifice of healthcare workers across the country--including Michele Brashear, RN, from Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Michele was one of 10 healthcare workers from around the country – and the only caregiver from Maryland – to be featured in a USPS video commemorating the stamp’s release. She has spent 27 years caring for Shady Grove Medical Center’s tiniest patients. Her work includes helping families navigate the emotional challenges of having a newborn in intensive care. The video offers a glimpse of Michele caring for babies in the NICU and spotlights the commitment and compassion of U.S. healthcare workers.

Nursing is a family affair for Michele. Her daughter, Morgan Brashear, RN, also serves families in Shady Grove Medical Center’s Birth Center. View the video below.
