Sophia Martin
Sofia Martin, RN, was named the December winner of the prestigious DAISY Award at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles in a surprise ceremony on Dec. 10. Sofia was joined by her coworkers, friends and even some family members in a celebration now very well-known at CHLA. Sofia now joins the many other nurses across the United States who have been 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 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. These are the kind words Sofia’s nominator had to say about her: “Sofia is the first staff person that the patients see and she makes every patient and parent so comfortable before their treatment. She is all about the patients and does everything she can to make them happy. She never comes in with a bad or negative mood. She’s always helpful and tried to help however she can. She’s a great person to work with and we would not trade her for any nurse. She’s the best I’ve ever met.” |
