We are proud and grateful to announce the recipients our quarterly DAISY Awards:
💮Ariel M., RN, Behavioral Health Unit, nominated by a colleague: "When a patient was in crisis, she safely sat on the floor beside him, calming and reassuring him with genuine kindness ... Her calm presence, empathy and willingness to help anyone at any moment make her an exceptional nurse and colleague.”
💮Deanna C,, RN, ICU nurse, nominated by a coworker for her amazing care for an open-heart surgery patient who struggled: : "Due to her diligent care, the patient was able to have tremendous improvement in his recovery, was able to downgrade to step-down status and move off the ICU. I believe Deanna’s compassionate care was a turning point in his recovery."
💮Eli A., RN, Pediatrics, nominated by a medical interpreter who watched him care for a child at end of life: "Eli was present with the family, providing comfort, especially to the father. His presence was warm, calm, and caring. I want Eli (and the rest of the team) to know that they absolutely made a difference to this family in the hardest moment of their lives.”
The DAISY Award is a national program honoring the extraordinary clinical skills, care and compassion of nurses. Nominations may be submitted at any time: https://ow.ly/fZcb50Z6tgq.

✔️ It’s also a source of antioxidants and potassium, which can support heart health.
