Yonkers Midwife Receives HRHCare Planetree Award for Excellence in Patient Care

campbell-sofiaYonkers, NY – HRHCare Community Health is pleased to announce that Sofia Campbell, CNM, from the HRHCare Park Care Health Center in Yonkers has been awarded the November 2016 Planetree Spirit Award for Excellence in Patient Care. The HRHCare Planetree Institute presents these awards to employees who go above and beyond to make health care more personalized and create a warm and welcoming environment for all.

A midwife at HRHCare for the past six years, Sofia Campbell has served patients at Health Centers in both Peekskill and Yonkers. Known for her compassion, generosity, and positive spirit, Ms. Campbell was recently noted for taking time out of her busy schedule to precept a student interested in a career as a midwife. When asked about her experience working alongside Ms. Campbell, the student replied, “Sofia Campbell has been so generous in sharing her knowledge and experiences with me. I’ve followed her through her daily process as a women’s health practitioner, and there has yet to be a dull moment! She is a testament to the stamina, mental acuity, skill, grace, and interpersonal finesse that midwifery demands.”

Before coming to HRHCare, Ms. Campbell was a staff midwife, and later a team leader, at North Central Bronx Hospital. When asked what she thought set HRHCare apart from other health care organizations, she replied, “The breadth and scope of the organization and its ability to adapt to the cultures of the populations it serves. Here we encourage our patients to understand that every part of their health is connected and that their actions affect their whole being.”

Ms. Campbell holds a BSN from Lehman College and an MSN in midwifery from SUNY Stony Brook. In her spare time she enjoys dancing, reading, and writing poetry. Balboa Press recently published a book of her work called Letters to Myself under the name Sofia Lorelle.
