My wife gave birth to our first child in spring. Lauri was our nurse for twelve hours during a long labor. She was absolutely incredible. She made us both comfortable, was exceptionally helpful, and just kind. I could not have pictured a better nurse to help my wife through a tough experience. She went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that our baby was safe, and my wife was as comfortable as possible. I was blown away by her care and how quickly she connected with us.
Lauri showed up the next day, on her day off, to come visit my wife and meet our new baby. She brought us two baby books as a gift.
The DAISY Award as described is for someone at your hospital who makes a special connection, has a positive attitude, displays exceptional interpersonal skills, and personalizes patient care. Lauri did all of this and then some in just twelve hours. We insisted on getting a picture with Lauri when she came to visit our new family. She simply was incredible, and my wife a couple days later keeps saying she doesn't know how she would've made it through pain, discomfort, confusion without Lauri Grossman. You're lucky to have her on your Labor and Delivery team!
