Leonardo Morit

Leonardo Morit, BSN, RN was recognized for his compassion and commitment not only to his patients, but to their families as well. He is an expert clinician, instinctively attuned to the needs of families and provides for these needs in the most unassuming and subtle ways.

One particular case highlighted in Leo’s DAISY nomination applauded his role in working with a mother who had yet to hold her medically fragile and critically ill 5-week old baby.  Leo took the extra effort to facilitate this “first” to happen on his shift.

Another example of Leo’s compassion was highlighted by the nurturing and stimulating environment he provided for a patient hospitalized for nearly 7 months.

These examples represent “family- centered care‟ at its best.
