DeAnn's work is extraordinary, she works tirelessly through the night providing individualized care for each of her patients, ensuring that all feel safe, secure and remain as pain free as possible. She takes the time to listen to her patients and their families, which immediately calms their fears and in turn gains their trust in her ability to use her expertise to care for their loved one.
Her years of experience, and the compassion she has for her patients, make her the nurse that she is today. She is truly an extraordinary, compassionate healer and is well deserving of the DAISY Award.

DeAnn is a highly skilled, compassionate nurse who consistently displayed the highest of ethical standards. Upon my initial introduction to DeAnn it was obvious that she's committing her lifework to ease other people's health burdens by providing quality medical care. DeAnn is not only devoted and caring, she displayed grace as she navigated easily from patient to patient with the expertise that addressed quality of life for each patient as they prepared for or had already experienced surgery. She's a listener who explained the pain management options in a collaborative way that included me in the decision making process. DeAnn is a highly skilled, compassionate nurse who consistently displayed the highest of ethical standards. No doubt, DeAnn is living her life's calling!
