On Thursday, Dec. 8, Shore Medical Center in Somers Point held its annual “Guardian Angel” pinning ceremony, at which 72 employees were recognized for providing exceptional care to patients. The Guardian Angel program enables grateful patients and families to honor a Shore caregiver with a donation to Shore Medical Center in their honor, according to a news release Tuesday. Throughout the year, Shore’s Guardian Angels are honored in smaller, individual presentations, where they receive a certificate and hear the thoughtful words shared by the patient about the difference they made. The Guardian Angel Pinning Ceremony each December brings the year’s Guardian Angels together in a special ceremony, where their family, friends, colleagues and even the patients who nominated them can celebrate together. Mary McGuckin, Lightkeeper’s society manager with Shore’s Planned Giving and Development Department, manages the program and coordinates the Guardian Angel Pinning Ceremony. “Guardian Angel donations from our grateful patients and families not only support the medical center but also shine a spotlight on the exceptional caregivers at Shore,” she said. “Guardian Angels are an example for their peers, and these Guardian Angel donations emphasize our commitment to patient-centered care.” During the ceremony, McGuckin called each Guardian Angel to receive their custom-designed Guardian Angel pin, which they can proudly wear on their badge as a symbol of the difference they make. Shore Chief Nursing Officer Holly Badali presented each pin. For a complete list of recipients visit shoremedicalcenter.org.
