Good News from #OOMPHforKaty

In the January/February NY Nurse, Tracey Kavanaugh, RN and NYSNA Board Member who works at Flushing Hospital, posted a special appeal for support for fellow RN Katy Starck-Monte. She’s happy to report that all the love and good wishes from NYSNA members made a difference:

“Thank you to NYSNA members, family and friends that have been following #oomphforkaty. Katy is home after receiving a double lung transplant. A social media campaign started by Katy’s friend to cheer her also encouraged people to become organ donors. Katy was a patient but also an advocate for others. Katy and her husband Joey are both nurses and worked at Flushing Hospital.”
