Georgia Penesis, NICU Nurse
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital
Nominated by Latrice Hummons

"Words cannot explain how amazing how beautiful how awesome Georgia is. She literally is a superstar and me and my family’s life, especially my son Indio.

When we first met Georgia, she just lit up our whole NICU experience. she not only cared for my son and found many different ways to help him stay calm and comfortable, but she met the needs of me and my husband - bringing us water, doing small things like making us arts and crafts, to help us feel better about this situation we’ve been going through.

Georgia is an all-Star person to me because she goes above and beyond. I’m not sure how we would’ve gotten through this NICU experience without her! We love Georgia so very much and that’s why we want to nominate her!”
