Wayne Resident Linda Naoum Earns Sunflower Award from NJ Sharing Network
(Morristown, NJ) — NJ Sharing Network, the nonprofit organization responsible for the recovery of organs and tissue for transplant in the state, has honored Linda Naoum, RN, SICU, of Atlantic Health Morristown Medical Center with its Sunflower Award in recognition of her outstanding advocacy and support for its lifesaving mission.
NJ Sharing Network’s Sunflower Award celebrates individuals who go above and beyond in their professional roles while demonstrating compassion, collaboration, and a true commitment to excellence. Linda’s strong rapport with patient families and her dedication to teamwork reflect the highest standards of nursing practice. She is known for working closely with physicians and colleagues to ensure that every detail of patient care is managed promptly and with precision.
“I am truly humbled to receive this award,” said Linda, who resides in Wayne, NJ. “It is a privilege to care for patients and support families during some of their most difficult moments. I am also grateful to play a role in honoring the wishes of organ and tissue donors, which brings hope and healing to others.”
During a recent organ donation, Linda went above and beyond by providing heartfelt support to grieving loved ones and ensuring every aspect of care was managed with dignity and respect — even offering her time on days she was not scheduled to work.
“Linda has a remarkable ability to connect with families and colleagues alike. Her compassion shines through in every interaction,” said Jacqueline Nuzzi, Hospital Development Manager at NJ Sharing Network.
According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), over 100,000 Americans — including nearly 4,000 New Jerseyans — are currently waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. One organ and tissue donor can save eight lives and enhance the lives of over 75 others. To learn more about organ and tissue donation or to register as a donor, visit www.NJSharingNetwork.org.
