Congratulations, Libby!
We are incredibly proud of our Nurse Specialist, Libby Tracey for being honored with the Fred Rogers Good Neighbor Award by the Nantucket Dreamland.
This award is given annually to "an individual who embodies the kindness, humility, and selflessness of Fred Rogers, a beloved former Nantucket resident, and is presented to a community member whose contributions have made a lasting impact on the island".
Libby is well-known on island for her boundless compassion, zest for life, sense of community and sense of humor. Our patients and families often share how she has comforted them in challenging times and provided them with unwavering support.
Thank you to the Nantucket Dreamland for recognizing Libby for her commitment to the people of Nantucket in her role as nurse, volunteer, congregant, family, friend, colleague and neighbor.
Palliative and Supportive Care of Nantucket Foundation
is dedicated to funding all of PASCON’s programs and services so that they may be provided free to the community without insurance reimbursement and to educating the community and raising awareness about palliative and supportive care issues.
