Lisa Walker, BSN, RN works on the Cardiopulmonary unit at Bronson Battle Creek Hospital. Lisa was nominated for the DAISY award by a patient who described his stay in the hospital as being more pleasant than he'd expected due to the care and compassion Lisa provided from the time he came in, to the time he was discharged to home. He wanted the nominating committee to know that while hospitals may be depressing places at times, Lisa empowered him by providing education to help once he left the hospital. Lisa was also nominated by a colleague who shared that Lisa is "incredible both as a nurse and as a coworker" and always goes above and beyond the call of duty to help. Lisa is always positive, encouraging others to look on the bright side. She is respected by her peers, physicians, and patients.
