A patient nominated Marcy for the DAISY Award sharing, "Marcy has helped me so much over the past few years when I've been sick and following the death of my husband. She calls regularly and is ready to talk anytime. When I don't feel well, I call Marcy. When you get to be 85, your body needs help and Marcy helps! When I have a clinic appointment, she will be waiting for me with a big smile and that's a nice comfort. She really is a very special person."
