Celebrate Our Nurses at CSC

May 15, 2026

At CSC, our nurses stand out due to their commitment, resilience, and deep connection with patients, helping transform surgery into healing and hope each day. Today, we're proud to highlight Leakhena. She graduated from nursing school in November 2025 but began working in CSC's post-operative ward in November 2024. Leakhena takes pride in being part of her patients' recovery, even when it involves uncomfortable dressing changes during their hospital stay. She finds the work rewarding, especially when she sees patients leave with their families and return home. Additionally, she appreciates the great teamwork at CSC.
