With the sun shining, temperatures warming and social distancing guidelines being lifted, more people are heading out in groups across the South Hills and Mon Valley area.

For some people, making others feel comfortable comes naturally to them. When Jody Collins, RN, was 16 years old, she felt a sense of peace in providing comfort to her terminally ill grandmother. It was that experience that made her want to help others in the best way possible — as a nurse. As a registered nurse caring for patients and their families on Monongahela Valley Hospital’s Medical/Surgical/Rehabilitation units, she strives to make their experiences the best possible. For her dedication to patients, families and co-workers, Ms. Collins was named the 2021 Cameos of Caring Awardee at the Hospital’s May 6 Cameos Breakfast. She was one of 12 distinguished MVH nurses who were nominated by their peers for this award.
