Hospice of Dayton presented the DAISY Award to Gail Satterthwaite in recognition of her extraordinary care for patients. The nomination, submitted by a family member of a hospice patient, cited Gail as a "true Guardian Angel in our lives".

"Gail treated our mother as I am sure she treats members of her own family. The love she shared for and with our mom filled the room when Gail entered. She made sure all of us know what to expect from the beginning of Mom's journey to the very end. She was compassionate and honest, even when the information she shared was not something anyone wants to hear about their loved one."

Gail Satterthwaite has been a member of the Hospice of Dayton staff for 23 years providing care for patients in their homes. She is a registered nurse with certification in hospice and palliative care.
