I want to nominate Trisha Woodward for the DAISY award. Trisha is the Nurse Manager for General Surgery, Surg Onc., Breast, Bariatrics & Plastics. Trisha was assigned to orient me during my first week here as my boss was on vacation. I was new to Rochester Regional so that is a heavy lift for anyone! Tricia is a wealth of knowledge about all things at RRH. She was so kind and helpful to me and very understanding. I bonded with her right away as she also has a great sense of humor! Over the past six months, I have observed Trisha helping anyone that asks. As a manager she works at all of her offices rooming patients, performing triage, or whatever their need is. One of her admirable traits is she rarely gets frustrated. She does whatever needs to be done without a complaint. She is a truly dedicated professional for RRH; she is here late almost every night making sure everything that needs to be done is completed. Just the other day Trisha was so concerned over a patient issue she spent the day making sure the patient experience was the best it could be despite the situation that occurred. I have the highest admiration for Trisha Woodward and believe she is a true reflection of what a DAISY Honoree should be. I am honored she is my co-worker and friend.
