Cheryl Barton

Cheryl Barton, RN, MSN, NP (Cardiology) has been honored with The DAISY Award at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Cheryl was honored by her co-workers, friends and family members — including her husband, who is in the military and was about to be deployed — in a surprise ceremony.

In a celebration we hold dear at CHLA, Cheryl now joins the many other nurses across the United States honored each month with this prestigious national award. She received the Healer’s Touch statue, a living daisy plant, a DAISY Award pin, a certificate and the praise of her many friends and coworkers.

Since every nurse who receives The DAISY Award reminds us that her/his entire team is deserving of recognition and that it takes a team to provide great patient care, all the nurses and staff in the recipient’s unit are treated to Cinnabon® cinnamon rolls at each presentation.

Cheryl’s many nominators had these kind words to say about her:  

“Cheryl acts with genuine compassion and empathy in all aspects of her professional and personal life. She absolutely exemplifies nursing and, as a role model, helps me to become a better nurse every day!”

“Cheryl embodies the definition of a team player. She is always delivering patient care with a smile and unmatched compassion. Cheryl’s attention to detail ensures her patients get the highest level of care.”

“It is always a pleasure consulting with Cheryl on cases due to her expansive knowledge base as well as her respect for other disciplines. She always goes above and beyond for her patients, families and colleagues.”
