Meet Nurse Laketa. Laketa knows the NICU well. She has been a NICU nurse at TriCity Medical Center for the last five years and currently has a granddaughter who has been in the NICU for the past three months.
Laketa is grateful for the opportunity to serve patients who have had little access to health care. In 2019, Laketa was recognized as the night NICU nurses of the year by TriCity Medical Center.
Miracle Babies first met Laketa two years ago at a Miracle Hour. Laketa co-facilitates the monthly Miracle Hours at Tri-City Medical Center. Laketa, has a big heart and goes the extra mile for her patients and Miracle Babies. From picking up and distributing diapers after working all night to dressing up as holiday elf for our “Christmas in July” she is a one of a kind volunteer!
Additionally, Laketa is passionate about working as the Executive Nurse Director for San Diego Christian Foundation’s annual Mt. Palomar Bible Camp. For the past 24 years she has spend a week on top of Palomar Mountain mentoring youth, another thing she will be missing due to COVID-19. Please keep Laketa’s granddaughter in your thoughts and thank you Laketa for being a Miracle Worker!
