Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurse coordinator Lori Sorensen, RN, is the Methodist Women's Hospital Employee of the Quarter for the third quarter of 2023.

She was nominated by nurse coordinator Emily Lambert, who wrote:

"Lori is the type of mentor that every floor deserves and needs. Her expertise goes beyond the NICU, and she is passionate about others learning and helping them become the best nurses possible. She is by far one of the greatest mentors I've ever had in my career and has always had my back when the days get crazy. When I transitioned to the core role, she taught me the ins and outs of my new position and made sure that I knew she was always a phone call away. Lori is the rock of our NICU and leads each shift with grace, even when the unit starts to get hectic. She is the glue that keeps our unit together, and we are so lucky to have her!"

Congratulations, Lori, on being selected as the Methodist Women's Hospital Employee of the Quarter!
