Emergency Department nurse selected for award

PORTSMOUTH — Portsmouth Regional Hospital has named Cheryl Thibodeau as the Portsmouth Regional Hospital employee Frist Humanitarian Award Winner.

Thibodeau,a registered nurse in the Emergency Department, has worked for Portsmouth Regional Hospital since 2010.

Thibodeau's humanitarianism reaches beyond her responsibilities as a nurse at Portsmouth Regional Hospital. When not at the hospital she can often be found giving time to The Pease Greeters, an organization that welcomes troops passing through Pease International Airport on their way to, or from Afghanistan, Iraq or any other areas of conflict throughout the world. She is also involved with a community charity that was created in honor of a local Portsmouth firefighter who lost her battle with breast cancer. Firefighter Sarah Fox was a young mother of three who battled cancer for four years. As her battle neared its end the community rallied around her to show its support and encouragement for her family, Thibodeau was there to help in any way she could and she is still active in Fox's cause, leading volunteer efforts in Sarah’s Ride, an event created to raise money in her honor for the Portsmouth Firefighters Charitable Association.

In addition to the community volunteering Thibodeau has demonstrated, she is also dedicated to advancing the nursing profession and growing young adults in the field of nursing. Thibodeau is one of the appointed instructors for University of New Hampshire nursing students at the hospital.
