At Fairlawn, we are proud to recognize one of our exceptional nurses whose impact reaches far beyond clinical care. Her dedication, empathy, and leadership have touched the lives of both patients and staff in profound ways.

From our patients: "While I was in pain, she took the time to listen—not just to my physical discomfort, but to my emotional struggles. She was kind, empathetic, and made me feel truly seen. Most of the staff were kind, but she made it just a little more."

"She was helping with my injection, and even when it wasn’t working, she stayed calm, patient, and determined to make sure I received my medicine. Her attitude made my stay here not so bad."

From her colleagues: She’s known as the “mom” of the floor—bright, cheerful, and always ready with a solution. She nurtures new nurses, helping them grow into confident, autonomous professionals. Her presence creates a supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to learn and succeed.

"She is the kind of nurse you want to work beside—not just because she’s incredibly skilled, but because she’s selfless, joyful, and always thinking of others. She helped build my confidence, taught me best practices, and made me feel supported every step of the way."

Her unwavering commitment to patient care, her mentorship of new nurses, and her uplifting spirit make her a true role model. She exemplifies everything the DAISY Award stands for—compassion, excellence, and extraordinary care.
