Stephanie Keller, a longtime nurse at UM Health-Sparrow Children’s Center, goes above and beyond to provide compassionate care, ensuring every child and their family feels safe and supported during their time in the hospital. Whether she’s taking a moment to sit with a child or offering reassurance to a worried parent, Stephanie goes the extra mile to ensure every family receives the compassionate care they deserve. This is just one of many reasons she’s this month’s Sparrow Spotlight. (fb)
