LINDA MORGANTE EXCELLENCE AWARD FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROMOTION


Jeannette Goldstein, LCSW, and Theresa LaRocca, RN, BSN, MSCN: The Linda Morgante MS Care Center at Maimonides Medical Center, Brooklyn


MS certified nurse clinician Theresa LaRocca and social worker Jeannette Goldstein are being honored for their extraordinary clinical collaboration over the past 5 years in promoting health and wellness for their patients and families living with MS. They are expert clinicians, educators, advocates, and counselors who as a team work closely together to provide excellence in individualized patient care. The sum is surely greater than the separate parts, which is the true meaning of comprehensive care. We could not think of more deserving MS clinicians whom to honor for the first time with this award in MS nurse clinician Linda Morgante’s name.
