Arkeysha Campbell, Social Worker/Outpatient Coordinator
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital
Nominated by Marita Ankobiah

"Arkeysha is a gem. From the moment we met, she was the calm to my storm and helped our family cope during a very uncertain time.

While Atarah was in the NICU, Arkeysha worked diligently to secure the resources we needed. She is an amazing social worker and a fierce advocate. She always made a point to check in with me after procedures, difficult days, or family meetings.

She also encouraged me to advocate for Atarah, helping me grow from weary and withdrawn to a confident advocate. Even when I couldn't find the words, she gave strength to my voice.

I could always count on her to check in on Atarah during difficult days. I am incredibly thankful that Arkeysha was our NICU social worker.”
