The first DAISY award at Banner Goldfield Medical Center was presented to Barbara Troska, RN on July 25th 2014. Barbara works nights in our Emergency Department and also as a relief house supervisor at Banner Goldfield.

The following are quotes from Barbara's nomination: "Barb truly cares about each and every one of her patients"; " Barb has given patients money for their prescriptions and taxi rides home in the past when they were unable to afford them"; "always makes sure that behavioral health patients receive a shower and clean clothes as well as a comfortable bed to sleep in instead of the stretchers"; "Barb freed up the nurse who was caring for the patient by giving the behavioral health hold a shower"; "Barb always steps in and helps other nurses take care of patients"; Barb displays our core behaviors daily. She is consistently compassionate to our patients as well as other nurses and she is always respectful of patient's privacy and dignity".
