Gordy named TidalHealth’s Tree of Life Awardee for April 2025

 

SALISBURY, MD. — TidalHealth is pleased to announce that Sofia Gordy, RRT, of TidalHealth Peninsula Regional, is its Tree of Life Award recipient for April 2025.

This award honors respiratory therapists who provide excellent care to patients, make a special connection, and are engaged with the care team to ensure the best outcomes for their patients.
 
Gordy was nominated by a nurse from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional:
 
“Sofia is an amazing asset to the respiratory division. She comes to work with a positive attitude and cares so much for her patients. She's always available to help the nurses and comes running immediately.

I've heard from other respiratory therapists that they're always excited to know that Sofia is their lateral because she always offers to help and ease the workload. As a nurse in the ICU, I've watched Sofia quickly grow as a respiratory therapist, and I could see her being an amazing resource for a long time.

Sofia is a huge team player and is compassionate with her patients. Recently, a patient was alarming for low spO2 on the central monitor, and Sofia immediately ran into the room to assess the patient and see if she could help, knowing nothing about them.

Both nurses and respiratory therapists alike recognize what a gift Sofia is to this hospital.”
 
TidalHealth appreciates Gordy and all of our respiratory therapists who provide exceptional care to our patients throughout our health system. To nominate a respiratory therapist for this award, visit tidalhealth.org/recognition.
