Many times, we recognize nurses when a singular event occurs that requires excellence in nursing care. Over the last two years, Curtiss has had many such moments.
Patients often tell unit leadership that Curtiss is the reason they felt comfortable returning home. He also exemplifies the Culture of YES behaviors. His charisma for nursing causes him to be instant friends with his patients and their families, and he constantly anticipates their needs. Curtiss shows how small acts of friendship and compassion create the healing environment MU Health Care is known for.
Curtiss' consistency of care is an example of not one, but hundreds, of examples that make him a true DAISY Nurse.
