🌼DAISY Award Recipient: Adrianne Fleeman, RN – Labor & Delivery

Please join us in celebrating Adrianne Fleeman, RN, for being recognized with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. 🌼

Adrianne was nominated by a grateful family who experienced firsthand the difference her compassion and dedication make:
After a long 35-hour labor, Adrianne remained a constant source of support—checking in frequently, helping guide positioning, and advocating tirelessly to help avoid a C-section. When her shift ended, she made the selfless choice to stay until delivery, ensuring mom and baby were cared for every step of the way.

She didn’t just provide clinical care—she became a source of strength, encouragement, and reassurance during one of life’s most vulnerable moments. From capturing first photos to offering steady guidance, her impact went far beyond expectations.

In the words of the patient’s family, “She went above and beyond… we truly believe God was working through her.”

Adrianne, thank you for embodying what it means to be a DAISY nurse—delivering compassionate, patient-centered care and making a lasting impact on the families you serve.

This Osteoporosis Awareness Month, Baptist Paragould is proud to offer our comprehensive Bone Health Program—combining advanced technology and personalized care to help detect risk earlier and protect your bones for the future.

Our new Bone Density Scanner (DXA) is a fast, low-dose X-ray that measures bone strength and helps identify osteoporosis before fractures occur. With the addition of Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), we can go even further—examining bone structure in more detail and identifying up to 30% more patients at risk.

Think of it like this: your bones may look strong on the outside, but TBS helps us see what’s happening inside—giving your provider a clearer, more complete picture of your bone health.

Let us help you stay strong and protect your bone health.

📞 Call 870-205-2125 to schedule. No referral needed.
