Shore Medical Center recently announced that Hazel Hughes, BSN, RN, a nurse on its 5 Hayes unit, has been selected as Shore Medical Center’s March Employee of the Month.

Hughes has been with Shore since 2005, and an important part of the 5 Hayes team since 2013.

Kelly Duma, 5 Hayes Nurse Manager, called Hughes the definition of a team player. “She is always there to lend a helping hand to her co-workers and always with a smile on her face,” said Duma. Using words like “kind” and “respectful” in her interactions with patients and their families, Duma said, “Hazel is a true patient advocate.”

Hughes lives in Egg Harbor Township with her husband and her daughter and when not working, loves a good football game and playing Sudoku.
