• 16 August 2024

Timbra Keller, a certified nursing assistant (CNA) with Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundations’ Home Care Services, has been named the June 2024 CMH TULIP Award recipient.

Keller was nominated for the award by a patient’s family member who praised her compassionate care.

“Timbra has a very gentle touch. She gave my mom her bath like she was a fragile baby. She was so kind and gentle. Mom told her she should be a teacher so other aides could learn to be gentle too. Timbra has a beautiful heart. She was a part of our family,” the nomination read.
