Ramon Tapia, RN, surgical admitting, is warmly described by his colleagues and patients as "a gentle giant."
Tapia was recently honored as the DAISY Award Honoree in a surprise celebration surrounded by colleagues, his loving wife and two children.
In his friendly and fatherly way, Tapia welcomes patients with his warm smile and gentle touch as he lessens their fears and prepares them for procedures including lab draws or central line draws.
Josephine "Jiffy" Ellashek, a clinical manager on 5 West, described in her written nomination of Tapia that he is known as a gentle giant for his "gentle and caring approach to all of his patients. Patients and parents give Tapia their whole trust and respect and he provides them with the same."
