Tracie Ackerman|Honoree for May 29th, 2026

Tracie Ackerman was nominated by her husband Robert who said, “Tracie Ackerman is a Nurse Practitioner at Southside Hospital in Bay Shore. She works in the cardiac step down unit working full time for over 20 years. Nurse Practitioner Ackerman often goes above and beyond her duties dealing with a vast array of patients. Aside from monitoring and caring for patients after very serious heart related procedures, she frequently goes above and beyond her duties by assisting those seriously less fortunate by assisting in providing housing and services so desperately needed by not only seriously sick and/ or unhealthy patients, but those requiring housing and/or basic needs that the majority of the population take for granted. Nurse Practitioner Tracie Ackerman has literally changed people’s lives on many levels and is truly a great asset to the hospital in Bay Shore and all that she comes in contact with, either patients or fellow associates!”

Tracie, as a small way of saying thanks for all you do for the community, you will receive a $100 gift card to The Pizzeria
