Boston Red Sox Nurse Night 2026: Get Discount Tickets, Nurses to be Honored on the Field

Alicia Warner

I work in a school and would like to nominate our incredible school nurse, Alicia Warner, for recognition. Alicia is truly the heart of our school community. She cares deeply about every student and staff member who walks through her door, and she gives so much of herself every single day.

Alicia goes far beyond what her job requires. When supplies run low, she quietly buys what is needed with her own money because she never wants a child to go without care. She works long days, often staying after school to make sure students are safe, supported, and comforted. Whether a child is sick, scared, or just having a tough day, Alicia is the calm and caring person they can count on.

She also supports our staff in ways that often go unseen—checking in on us, helping when we need it most, and always leading with kindness and compassion. Alicia handles difficult situations and challenging students with patience, understanding, and an enormous heart.

Our school is a better place because of Alicia Warner. The love, dedication, and care she shows every day make a lasting difference in the lives of our students and staff. She is truly one of those special people who deserves to be recognized for the incredible work she does.

Lisa Lennon 

Lisa Lennon, RN is my sister. She is also an emergency nurse. Lisa has spent her career caring for patients and their families on their worst days.

Lisa has cared for patients through trauma, birth, death, behavioral emergencies, surge census, low staffing, days, nights, weekends, holidays. She, in addition, worked at Fenway Park during the regular season as medical staffing, assisting to manage their fans and some days players, with her exceptional skills and abilities on her days off from the emergency department picking up shifts that required coverage so patrons could enjoy games safely, receiving emergency care if required.

Lisa, also worked through the Boston Marathon events and through COVID 19, despite seeing things a nurse should not have to see, she continued to provide compassionate care to patients and their families despite suffering her own traumatic loss in 2018.

Lisa also mentors nursing students for the Foundation to be Named Later in her spare time fostering relationships with scholarship recipients and supporting not just their learning needs but their personal needs as well.

She is currently a Clinical Professional Development Specialist at the South Shore Hospital Trauma Center in the Emergency Department, developing, growing and mentoring new ED RNs and experienced ED RNs in addition to NAs.

Lisa is humble. She has won numerous awards throughout her ED career as a respected peer and leader, always seeing the best in someone and helping them to reach their potential. She is a true leader. Her accolades include an award for excellence in exceptional performance in organizational performance management during her master's degree, the inaugural colleague spotlight award at SSH for exceptional commitment to colleague recognition, highlighting her dedication in the recognition of others contributions, she placed the highest number of inspires for colleagues in the health system's history of over 100 years. She also received multiple ICARE and PIE awards during her time at partners hospitals for patient care and team work, recognizing her commitment to excellence. She was honored at Faulkner Hospital as not only their ED Nurse of the Month in 2017 but as their ED Nurse of the Year in 2019.

Her most proud accomplishment, however, is her daughter, Melanie, who alongside her enjoys her Fenway summers, and the magic the Red Sox bring to Boston since 1901. She is beyond deserving of the honor of throwing out the first pitch at nurses night at Fenway Park.

Tina Riley 

Tina is a nurse that works with her full heart to help patients and her coworkers, she is always ready to help and provide safety and comfort of her patients. she treats everyone the same way with out any exception. she never changes her energy in any situation. she is always smiling and happy. she is so kind and dedicated Nurse that I ever met. 

Kara McCarthy, RN 

Kara is an all around amazing hospice nurse. She brings caring, compassion and gentleness to every patient and family member that she cares for. She has been an integral part of our team, working closely with the MD, social worker and the chaplain. I am so grateful to work alongside her. And before she was a nurse, she once worked at Fenway park. I think this would be a lovely opportunity to honor her.  

Heather Dieterle 

Heather has been such a rock for our hospital unit. She has worked beside me for years and has become such a leader amongst her peers. She has been recognized by patient families for her advocacy winning her a DAISY. Heather is the type of nurse that is the first one to arrive to an emergency and the last one to leave. In times when there is a need for someone to step up, Heather does that. She stepped up to fill in leadership roles when others shy away. Her work ethic and compassion is unmatched. She finds the time to do the little things to make patients forget their situation for a little. These are things like washing and braiding their hair, shaving patients, showering bed bound patients. Even though these are tasks that are basic, in Med-surg these days, it is hard to find the time. She will come in on a day off to do this. Heather has also been a cheerleader to her peers. She is always planning work baby showers, birthdays, celebrations for promotions and big mile stones. She makes work days enjoyable and brings a confidence that reassures her peers that the shift will go smooth. Heather, being an athlete herself, deserves this honor.
