Deanna Del Valle

Greene Memorial Hospital

Deanna Del Valle has been a Registered Nurse for seven years. She has been employed by Greene Memorial Hospital for 18 years and currently works as a staff nurse in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Deanna takes a family-based approach to nursing, ensuring that patients and their loved ones receive the care and support they need. Indeed, patients and their families gravitate toward Deanna and hope that she is the nurse who returns the next day to implement the complicated care required for the ICU patient. Deanna's calm demeanor relaxes the patient and the family during a time in which they feel helpless and uncertain. She has received many letters from patients and their families who remark how Deanna is "especially caring and professional." Deanna also works in the Emergency Room (ER) when that unit is short-staffed; her ability to "shift gears" between the ER and ICU has won the respect of her colleagues. In fact, many nurses at Greene consider Deanna the "go to" person for answers to their questions. Deanna also serves as a preceptor to Cedarville University nursing students who have clinicals in the ICU at Greene. She is involved in unit practice council decisions for the ICU and teaches CPR. Deanna earned her Associate Degree in Nursing from Sinclair Community College and holds certification as a Critical Care Registered Nurse.
