Lisa Lamping Smile Award

The Miami Valley Hospital Foundation is raising funds to support the Lisa Lamping Smile Award. This award recognizes a staff member who goes above the call of duty and brings smiles to our patients, their loved ones, and our staff.

Lisa, a long-time employee of the Miami Valley Hospital Neonatal ICU and beloved neonatal nurse practitioner and RN for decades, passed away on January 9, 2024, leaving behind a husband and three children.

Lisa’s obituary best describes her spirit: To say she lost her battle with cancer would not be appropriate because she never stopped fighting. Through her first round of colon cancer, breast cancer and its return, she always remained positive and determined. While others would have lost hope, she laughed in the face of danger. Through her, her family has learned resiliency and love. Just because she is no longer with us does not mean she lost her fight. Her spirit and hope live on through all those she has touched and known in her lifetime.

The NICU team established the Lisa Lamping Smile Award through a fund at the Miami Valley Hospital Foundation. The staff who loved Lisa contributed to the first award. If you would like to donate to support this award’s continuation, please click the link below.
