I am nominating Cheyenne Brown for the DAISY Award in recognition of her compassionate initiative to expand the No One Dies Alone (NODA) program to the LDS Hospital. This caregiver exemplifies our core values: "We believe in what we do, living our mission every day. We serve with empathy, caring for each patient, caregiver, and member with compassion and respect." Recognizing the unique needs of our vulnerable patient population, many of whom lack social support, Cheyenne identified a critical gap in end-of-life care.

Patients on General Inpatient (GIP) hospice often spend their final moments without loved ones present. Moved by this reality, Cheyenne escalated the idea to bring the NODA program to our facility, ensuring that no patient dies alone, regardless of their circumstances. This initiative reflects a deep commitment to human connection and dignity. By advocating for the presence of compassionate volunteers at the bedside of dying patients, Cheyenne has helped foster a culture of presence, comfort, and respect in our hospital. Cheyenne's approach to patient care has already begun to transform the way we support patients at the end of life, and their actions truly embody what it means to live our values every day. While this is a newly expanded program, the potential impact her actions have is immeasurable for patients who are end-of-life needing social support and a comforting presence. LDS Hospital is grateful that this program is available for our patients.
