Johaira Michelle didn’t ask to be a “hero”, but she’s been one to her patients and fellow nurses.
Caring for new families during this pandemic has been a meaningful experience for Johaira Michelle Dilauro, RN, BSN CLE, who works in labor and delivery, post-partum, and the NICU at West Los Angeles Medical Center. She has used her warmth and empathy to create a compassionate care experience for her patients, including a COVID-19 positive mother. She has worked tirelessly to care for new families, and in the process, championed efforts to secure more masks and face shields for her hospital, to ensure her team and others helping patients with COVID-19 received the proper protection they need to continue fighting this global pandemic. We are proud to call Johaira Michelle Dilauro a “hero” for all she does to support her team while providing extraordinary care for mothers, newborns and new families at a most unprecedented time. Even LAFC [3] star Adama “Dio” Diomande agrees, as his photo shows. See his special thank you tweet to Johaira here. [4]
