In the words of the ICU Manager: The DAISY Award is an award that honors and celebrates the compassionate care that nurses provide every day. We believe that the MICU/SICU nurses earned this honor based on the recognition they received from V.L., a patient who was in MICU/SICU for approximately 11 days in critical condition. He presented the staff with a huge Thank You card filled with his words of appreciation. "Thank you for my second chance." "Saved my life." "Staff always had a kind demeanor!" "Gave me hope". " You all have a piece of my heart." "You're the reason mine is still beating!". He went on to write about all the dreams he wants to fulfill now that he has gotten a second chance at life. He made a huge statement with his statement written largely in the center of his trifold board...."Crestwood Saves Lives!!!" Yes, this team of nurses is a group of lifesavers.
