recommended streaming According to family lore, early in the twentieth century the sisters’ parents decided to move the family from Eastern Europe to Los Angeles so their father could become a movie director. On the way, their pregnant mother went into labor in St. Louis, where the baby was born and where their mother died. The father left the children in an orphanage and promised to send for them when he settled in California—a promise he never kept. One of the Morris sisters later became a successful Wall Street trader and advised Franklin Roosevelt. The sisters lived together in New York City, none of them married or had children, and one even had an affair with J. P. Morgan.

The stories of these independent women intrigued Klam, but as she delved into them to learn more, she realized that the tales were almost completely untrue.

The Fabelmans Loosely based on Spielberg's childhood growing up in postWorld War II era Arizona, from age seven to eighteen, a young man named Sammy Fabelman discovers a shattering family secret, and explores how the power of movies help us see the truth about each other and ourselves.

Streaming on Showtime, Hulu, or Paramount +

4 • HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER

The Almost Legendary Morris Sisters is the revealing account of what Klam discovered about her family—and herself—as she dug into the past. The deeper she went into the lives of the Morris sisters, the slipperier their stories became. And the more questions she had about what actually happened to them, the more her opinion of them evolved.

Part memoir and part confessional, and told with the wit and honesty that are hallmarks of Klam’s books, The Almost Legendary Morris Sisters is the fascinating and funny true story of one writer’s journey into her family’s past, the truths she brings to light, and what she learns about herself along the way.

daisy award recipient

TAY L O R H U E B B E R S , B S N , R N

The Daisy Award recognizes exceptional nurses for providing skillful and compassionate care. Taylor Huebbers clearly embodies what this award stands for. Her nomination reads; “My baby was admitted to the NICU. I was so anxious I could barely sleep.

I remember how hard it was for me to leave the NICU. All of the nurses were amazing but one stood out to me. I remember coming to visit with my baby around 1AM. As usual, I could not sleep while he was in the NICU. But, when I walked in, Taylor had him out and was giving him the cutest Mohawk. She had taken out his IV and explained how well he was doing to myself and my husband. She also gave him the cutest setup in his incubator and you could really tell how much she cared, based on how neat she kept everything. We still talk about Taylor to this day. I remember how at ease she made me feel.

After seeing her with him, I was finally able to sleep.

14 • HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER

for extraordinary nurses She truly embodies the epitome of nursing and as a fellow nurse myself, I am so thankful for her.”

Taylor, a graduate of Holly High School, completed her nursing degree at University of MichiganFlint. She began her career at Hurley in NICU as a Nurse Extern. “I completed a number of clinical rotations at Hurley and preferred here to other hospitals. Hurley also has a level 3 NICU, which is exactly what I was looking for. I felt that I would be able to get the best experiences here than anywhere else, notes Taylor.”

There are many rewards for caring for premature and critical ill newborns. This environment can be emotionally demanding while very rewarding. Taylor has found her place. She shared a favorite memory where she was able to take care of her first primary patient and watch her grow and develop. "It was

daisy award recipient amazing to be a part of her journey from the day she was born to the day she went home. She was only 2lbs when she was born, so it truly was something special to see her grow over her 2 months with us."

Taylor is grateful to her family who she feels has been a great support during her obtaining a nursing degree, especially her older sister who is also a nurse. Her sister was the one who encouraged her to pursue the career. Taylor is also appreciative to everyone on her unit. “We always take on difficult tasks together, no one is ever alone. With all of their guidance and support, I have been able to grow into a more confident nurse.”

Taylor expressed that her nomination meant a great deal to her. She shared that she was so nervous the morning she was awarded the Daisy. “I was choked up with emotions.

Learning that I was able to make such an impact on a family and provide them with some comfort during that very difficult time of their lives is truly an honor. I am not always the most confident in my skills being a newer nurse, so learning that something as simple as showing their baby affection and attention was able to make such an impact on them, is something that I will never forget.”

“We always take on difficult tasks together, no one is ever alone.

With all of their guidance and support, I have been able to grow into a more confident nurse.”

Laura noted. Laura cares for our young patients from the beginning of their hospital stay to escorting them and their parents to the lobby at the time of discharge. You may even find her toting or carting their belongings. Laura believes that this is the customer-service thing to do and that it is also an opportunity to “get her steps in for the day.”

There are Wellness signs of encouragement posted on the wall at each floor, and I can quote all of them,” Laura shared.

Laura shares her wellness with her boyfriend and at times, they walk laps around the Birch Run mall. They do two or three laps under the covered sidewalks. Laura noted that she was always involved in some sort of wellness, including sports in her younger years. She also used to be a serious runner. She even ran the CRIM. Now she is a serious walker. Laura enjoys boating and traveling. She enjoys taking trips with her boyfriend and even plans on going to Hawaii next year.

hurley wellness "Laura is someone who is always trying to stay active. I have never seen Laura take the elevator.

She's always taking the stairs, walking the Hurley mile inside and out. When anyone needs something from the pharmacy she's your girl.

When you need to run labs down to the lab she's got you covered. Laura is someone who makes sure she's always discharging her own patients to the front door because she's just got to get her steps in. She strips all her rooms down for EVS. Staying active is the way we see Laura, if she has time to take a break she spends it in the Hurley Gym. At home she stays fit around the yard. I hear she also takes pride in her walks around Frankenmuth. All those around the unit know Laura is a woman who likes to get her steps in.

Way to go Laura!"
