I am honored to nominate Gina LaRoe for the DAISY Award in recognition of the extraordinary care she provided to my father during his time at Albany Medical Center. From the moment she entered his room, Gina’s compassion, kindness, and expertise were immediately apparent. She not only delivered exceptional medical care but also treated my father with the utmost dignity, respect, and warmth, making an immeasurable difference during a challenging time. Gina went above and beyond to ensure my father’s comfort, attentively listening to his needs and making sure he was well cared for. She took the time to explain every aspect of his treatment to both him and our family, offering patience and reassurance that eased our concerns.

Her dedication, professionalism, and heartfelt approach to nursing left a lasting impression on our entire family. In a world where nurses often go unrecognized, Gina is a true standout – a shining example of what it means to care, not just for a patient’s physical health, but for their overall well-being. I am deeply grateful for all she did for my father and our family, and I wholeheartedly believe she deserves this honor.
