Following the birth of her second child, Darlene Behrman found herself struggling with what is commonly known as the postpartum blues. âAfter I had my baby, I just felt overwhelmed,â she says. âI felt like I had no control over my emotions, and it was starting to affect my family. I knew I needed to get some help.â
Darlene found the help she was looking for in Leslie Gibson, a Certified Nurse Midwife at St. Maryâs OB/GYN clinic. âI needed someone who was confident and knowledgeable, but easy to talk to,â says Darlene. âI made that connection with Leslie. She made me feel at ease and comfortable in speaking out about what I was experiencing. I didnât feel embarrassed or ashamed.â

I have studied the Bible since 1979, and later spent three years in college majoring in it until I earned a bachelor’s degree in it in 1984, and now have spent over 35 years mostly unlearning what I was taught in Bible school so I could reconcile what is really happening in the world with what the Bible actually teaches.
Paving the path for nursing education
The University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Nursing has been long recognized for its, high-quality academic programs. They are on the cusp of the latest trends in education, but undergo continuous evaluation and improvement, integrate the latest technologies and provide the most up-to-date clinical knowledge available using breadth and depth of faculty expertise and the latest scientific discoveries. Students benefit from interprofessional faculty and nurse leaders who are trailblazers in education, clinical practice and research, and who anticipate the future needs of health care and how nursing can best meet those needs. And, graduates have an academic foundation that encourages lifelong learning, whether they are at the bedside, in the boardroom or teaching in the classroom.
Northwest Health has honored two nurses with Daisy Awards for extraordinary and compassionate service.
The annual awards were established to honor the late J. Patrick Barnes, whose family wanted to recognize the nurses who treated him after he died at 33 in 1999 because of complications from the idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura autoimmune disease.
The health care system honored Patricia (Patti) Martin, the manager of the Infusion Center at Northwest Health â Porter, with a Daisy Award.
âIt is difficult to find words to express my gratitude for line nurse Patti Martin at Northwest Health â Porter, said the patient who nominated here. She was my first nurse when I began cancer treatment in summer 2019. She took my first blood draw for labs and accessed my port-a-catheter the first time. I was anxious about my first port access. Patti s steady hands and gentle approach made the access absolutely painless along with every time since the first visit.
