July 2025 LEAF Award Recipient

Liberty Perez, CNA

Liberty Perez, CNA, 4th Vineyard Orthopedics
LEAF Award – July 2025

Liberty has been a valued member of our San Antonio Care Team since 2011. As a certified nursing assistant with our orthopedics unit, brings a wealth of experience and serves as a trusted resource for both new aides and nurses. Known for responding to every call light without hesitation, Liberty always enters the room with warmth and compassion. Her exceptional bedside manner ensures that every patient feels truly cared for. Liberty was nominated for our LEAF Award by a nurse who described working alongside her as “amazing.” During a particularly challenging shift, Liberty went above and beyond—assisting with personal care, providing food, water, and warm blankets, and staying attentive to the patient’s needs throughout. Liberty is a true asset to San Antonio and we are grateful to have her on our team!   Congratulations, Liberty!
