TULIP Awards
Anna Aleshire receives the April 2026 CMH TULIP Award
Citizens Memorial Hospital presented Anna Aleshire, PA-C, with the April 2026 CMH TULIP Award. Aleshire is a physician assistant at CMH OB/GYN Clinic.
Aleshire was nominated by a patient at the clinic for the exceptional compassion and support she provided during a difficult pregnancy loss.
In the nomination, the patient shared that Aleshire remained by her side during a late missed miscarriage, offering comfort and reassurance during one of the most heartbreaking experiences of her life. The patient said Aleshire treated her with tenderness, dignity and respect, creating a safe space to grieve and process her emotions.
The patient described Aleshire's care as a source of comfort during one of the most difficult experiences of her life.
"There was something incredibly human about the way she cared for me; her calm voice, her gentle reassurance and her willingness to just be there,” the patient wrote. “In a time when I felt completely broken, her compassion brought me a sense of comfort I will never forget."
The patient also noted that Aleshire's care extended far beyond her clinical responsibilities.
“She gave me something I will carry with me always: the feeling that I was not alone in one of my darkest moments. That kind of kindness is rare, and it is something that truly changes people.”
