April 2016 Honoree
courtney heller, RN, BSN
Courtney Heller was the nurse who took the extra time to help me. She was instrumental in my discharge and especially the night before. After my surgery I had concerns about my scar. I had asked several nurses about a bra that would provide support without causing problems for my surgery scar. I tried looking for a location or a website to purchase one. The next morning Courtney was back on duty and my nurse. She came to my room and told me she had located a bra through a hospital supply site. What a relief! Courtney had looked on my behalf, on her own time.
She also re-called the diabetes nurse educator and dietician for me so that I was completely comfortable with the information I was discharged with. Courtney made sure I was ready to go home in every way. Her thoughtfulness, and giving up her personal time to help me, makes her deserving of a DAISY Award.

Thank you, Courtney, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
