Spending baby's first Christmas in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is not the way most parents envision the holidays. At Forrest General Hospital, three employees, Jennifer Courtney, RN; Ashley Beasley, RN; and Renee Pharr, Respiratory Therapist, go out of their way to make the season a little bit brighter for the parents and little warmer for the hospital’s tiniest patients.

Forrest General’s top employee, leadership and physician awards were presented on December 13 at the hospital’s annual Employee Christmas Party.
