Mindy Bell, a registered nurse in the Critical Care Unit, nominated Cathcart for her willingness to go above and beyond in her role. Bell describes Cathcart as a welcoming presence to team members and patients.

“She is not afraid to take on a new task or extra responsibility to help improve the day of a co-worker or a patient,” Bell said. “Brittney will never be one to tell someone she can’t help them with something.”

Bell recalled a time when Cathcart took initiative to make the unit function smoothly.

“Brittney dedicated her free time to reviewing the entire storage room,” she said. “She checked supplies and ensured the room was clean and functional for all employees in the unit.’

“Brittney is truly an asset to the Critical Care Unit and UnityPoint Health — Fort Dodge as a whole,” she added.
