Aubrey recognized Bonnie as a Shining Star! 
“Bonnie has been a contingent RN with the agency for many years and has stepped up to help as a case manager for a patient requiring extra help. She made sure the patient had everything she needed and even went to the community resource centers to obtain supplies and food for the patient and her family. Her diligence with the patient’s care needs has set the patient on the path of recovery. She comes to the office daily to report her findings and give updates on the patient’s condition. Bonnie’s dedication to this patient’s care and healing exemplifies our mission at VNA & BWH.”
