Debra has been an invaluable member of our team, providing support for patients performing home hemodialysis at three different clinics for the past few months. It is without hesitation that I nominate her for the prestigious DAISY Award. Over the course of her time covering these clinics, Debra has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure that every patient receives the highest level of care and support. She has demonstrated extraordinary dedication by driving hundreds of miles to visit patients in their homes, ensuring that they have the training and guidance necessary to perform their dialysis treatments safely and effectively.

Debra’s efforts have made an immeasurable impact on the lives of our patients, offering them both the clinical expertise they need and the compassionate care they deserve. In addition to her clinical proficiency, Debra exemplifies the core values of empathy, kindness, and integrity. She builds strong, trusting relationships with her patients, empowering them to take control of their own healthcare journey. Her genuine concern for their well-being, coupled with her attention to detail, has not only improved the outcomes of her patients but also given them confidence in their ability to manage their treatment at home.

Debra is a natural leader, and her proactive approach to patient education is a testament to her dedication to excellence. Her contributions extend beyond the technical aspects of dialysis care; she provides invaluable emotional support, always ensuring that her patients and their families feel heard, understood, and cared for during what can often be a stressful and uncertain time.
