An employee at Taylorville Memorial Hospital is being recognized for her compassion and dedication to patient care. Amanda Frost, an acute care licensed practical nurse, has been named Taylorville Memorial Hospital’s Colleague of the Month for July.

Frost was nominated for going above and beyond for her patients—especially one who had recently come out of isolation and was feeling down. Frost took the time to talk with the patient and even went on multiple walks with them around the unit to help lift their spirits.

Her nominator praised her kindness and commitment, calling her “an exceptional nurse” with “a heart of gold” who always delivers the highest quality care. Frost has been with Taylorville Memorial Hospital since 2023.
