Monnaka received a beautiful nomination from a veteran during his appointment at the Red Clinic. He stated the following:

I recently came to the Birmingham VA to reclaim my health and partner with the greatest team and unit of healthcare workers and providers. I was given a new lease on life thanks to these blessed servants. Monnaka in the Red Clinic expedited the many consults I needed without rushing and without making me feel guilty and shameful. She gave me the hope I desperately needed and made sure I understood and knew where I was going."

Monnaka truly went “above and beyond” for the Veteran. Dr. C, Chief Nursing Officer, echoed the Veteran’s sentiments and expressed her appreciation to Monnaka for her commitment to patient care.

Congratulations, Monika Speights on your DAISY Award!
