Honoree Category: Nurse
Alicia Aponte is a registered nurse for The Village for Families & Children Eagle House psychiatric residential treatment facility in Hartford.
For part of the year she was the only full-time nurse in a 24/7 program, helping to keep it running during a severe worker shortage. She adjusted her schedule to meet the needs of the program without complaining or even being asked.
Her contributions were especially notable at the height of the COVID pandemic when the program was affected and she was responsible for the daily nursing care and oversight of the affected clients.
Although anxiety was high among many of the direct-care staff, Aponte showed up daily and performed her nursing duties with resolve and grit. She even stationed herself in the same building with the affected clients.
Aponte also served at times as the sole on-call nurse, coming in to assess clients and provide medications on her days and time off.
She is always available to part-time, per-diem nurses, direct-care staff, and clients when on shift and seamlessly transitions from one task to another to accommodate the competing needs of clients and the program.
