(Central News Agency reporter Lu Tai-cheng, Taitung County 6th) Wu Jia-min, Head Nurse of the Emergency Room at Taitung Christian Hospital, has dedicated 20 years to frontline emergency medical care, saving many precious lives of Taitung residents. She received this year's Nightingale Award for Special Contribution. County Magistrate Rao Ching-ling presented her with a commendation, acknowledging her role in safeguarding the people of Taitung.
The 15th Nightingale Award ceremony was held on the 2nd. Wu Jia-min, Head Nurse of Taitung Christian Hospital's Emergency Room, has been on the frontline of emergency medical care at the hospital for 20 years and has extended her professional expertise to Taitung County's emergency medical services, earning recognition with the Special Contribution Award. This marks the second time a nurse from Taitung Christian Hospital has received this award, following Sun Yi-chen, then supervisor of the Community Health Center, who received the 1st Top Ten Nightingale Award in 2012.
Rao Ching-ling visited today to post the commendation, stating that Taitung has a long and narrow terrain, with medical resources concentrated in urban areas. Emergency medical care in rural areas relies heavily on medical personnel like Nurse Wu Jia-min, who are willing to stay long-term and quietly contribute. Wu Jia-min stood out among many excellent nurses nationwide to receive the Nightingale Award, one of the highest honors in nursing. "This is not only a personal achievement but also the greatest encouragement and recognition for all grassroots medical personnel in Taitung."
Sun Kuo-ping, Director of the Taitung County Government's Health Bureau, stated that Wu Jia-min not only provides high-quality care within the hospital but also actively participates in the establishment of Taitung County's emergency medical system, serving as an emergency medical consultant, providing relevant professional advice, and participating in Taitung Christian Hospital's "Emergency Medical Grading Assessment" to enhance local emergency medical response capabilities.
Wu Jia-min said in an interview that since staying in Taitung to work in nursing 25 years ago, she has deeply felt the limited medical resources and difficult personnel allocation in eastern Taiwan's rural areas, especially with 20 years of experience in the emergency room. The emergency room often becomes the most immediate and critical medical entry point for patients, needing stable reception. She understands that nursing is not just about "doing things well," but about "ensuring patients are not abandoned and teams do not collapse during the most difficult times."
