North Fulton Hospital's Micah Brown Named 'Tenet Hero'

The Tenet Hero is part of Tenet Healthcare Corporation's recognition program for employees.

Local nurse, Micah Brown, has been named a Tenet Hero, according to a recent announcement by North Fulton Hospital.

Brown, a breast health nurse navigator, has combined a generous and tirelessly compassionate nature during her decade long career in nursing. Her role begins the moment a woman finds out she has a breast problem or earlier, when she is just worried that she might. According to her managers, Brown is there with a compassion that goes beyond duty to answer questions, hold a hand during a biopsy and offer a comforting and consoling word to ease fears and anxiety. 

"It’s Micah the patients love because she puts them at ease and takes them by the hand, leading them through every step in the process," says Dr. Laura Rivers-Pearson, breast surgeon at North Fulton Hospital.

She has an uncanny ability to be the source of strength for those who have trouble finding it in themselves – patients and co-workers alike, according to a press release.
