In her work as a registered nurse at Shaw Industries, Lisa Holliday is “all in,” said Jennifer Dean, the senior health services manager at the Dalton-based flooring company.
“I manage the nursing program at Shaw and Lisa is one of our top nurses who is all in,” Dean said. “It doesn’t matter what time of day or night, she’s taking care of people.”
Holliday was recently recognized for her work as a nurse at Shaw by Dalton-based nonprofit Live4It Community. Holliday was given the organization’s first “Heart of Gold Award” at the recent 2024 Bill Gregory Health Care Classic race.
The award is given to “an individual who embodies the Live4It Community key concept of ‘invest in one another,’” according to a press release.
“I witnessed Lisa investing in someone who had a need,” said Amanda Reed Myers, Live4It CEO. “She didn’t just say a few kind words to them. She reached out and reached deep, not only into her own heart but into the heart of someone else. Witnessing this beautiful example of love and kindness touched more than just the person in need, she impacted everyone that witnessed it. Lisa is a beautiful example of a heart of gold as she serves her employer, her community and her fellow man.”
For her service to others as a nurse, the Dalton Daily Citizen names Lisa Holliday Person of the Week.
