Service Star of the MonthJustine Fierman, C.R.N.P.
Justine Fierman, C.R.N.P., Helwig Health and Diabetes Center The boy learned he had type 1 diabetes at age 7, and then the care he received elsewhere over the next nine months didn’t help. But when the boy came to the Helwig Health and Diabetes Center and received a treatment plan from diabetes educator Justine Fierman, C.R.N.P., his blood sugars returned to normal levels in just four days. Fierman’s care didn’t end there. When the boy suffered life-threatening complications from a virus, she kept in constant contact. Fierman provided emotional support and oversight to monitor the boy’s safety while he was in his local hospital. Ultimately, she arranged for the boy’s transfer here, where he recovered. She even visited him and gave him a stuffed toy that he now sleeps with every night. “She is an angel who deserves a shining star to go along with her halo of compassion, understanding, knowledge, determination and devotion to her patients and profession,” his mother says.
