April 2026 Honoree
Ma Hazel Silvestre, LPN
I am honored to recognize Hazel for the extraordinary compassion and care they provide every day.
From the very beginning, she created an environment where patients and families felt safe, heard, and truly cared for. What stood out most was her ability to combine clinical excellence with genuine kindness. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered every question with patience, and never made anyone feel rushed or overlooked. In moments of uncertainty and stress, her calm presence brought reassurance and comfort.
There was one particular moment that truly captured the kind of nurse she is. She went out of their way to provide emotional support when it was needed most, offering not just medical care, but human connection. Her compassion turned a difficult experience into one filled with dignity and understanding.
She consistently goes above and beyond, not because she has to, but because she truly cares. Her actions reflect the very heart of nursing, treating every person with empathy, respect, and kindness.
Hazel exemplifies what the DAISY Award represents. Her dedication makes a lasting difference in the lives of their residents and colleagues, and she is more than deserving of this recognition.
