It is my absolute honor to present this DAISY Award to an exceptional nurse. As her manager, I have the privilege of witnessing firsthand the extraordinary commitment, compassion, and advocacy she brings to her patients, their families, and our team every single day.

She consistently exemplifies what it means to be a patient advocate. She ensures that each patient’s voice is heard, their concerns are addressed, and their care is delivered with dignity and respect. Her ability to communicate clearly, compassionately, and effectively with families, especially during difficult and emotional moments, builds trust and reassurance when it is needed most.

What truly sets her apart is her commitment to bridging communication gaps. She takes ownership in coordinating care across disciplines, ensuring that information is shared, questions are answered, and plans of care are aligned. She does not hesitate to collaborate with physicians, nursing peers, and ancillary departments to advocate for timely interventions and comprehensive support, always prioritizing what is best for the patient.

Her compassion is genuine and uncommon. She consistently goes beyond expectations, recognizing the human experience behind every diagnosis. She embodies AdventHealth’s service standards by living out “Love Me” through empathy and presence, and “Own It” through accountability, follow-through, and professionalism.

She is a respected collaborator whose approach strengthens team relationships and promotes a culture of excellence, safety, and mutual respect. Her actions reflect the very heart of whole-person care and AdventHealth’s mission.

This DAISY Award is a well-deserved recognition of the profound difference she makes—not only in the lives of her patients and their families, but also within our department and organization. We are incredibly proud of her and grateful for the standard of care and compassion she consistently provides.
