Katie received her DAISY award nomination from one of her colleagues and a physician. They felt that Katie goes above and beyond, makes special connections, generates enthusiasm and positive energy, collaborates to effect change, and serves as a role model:



"She was remarkably cheerful and warm."


"She has a contagious, positive attitude when she comes to work; she takes on the day's challenges with a smile."


"She is sympathetic, compassionate, and extremely professional with her patients. She goes out of her way to provide a gentle touch or caring word."


"In a world where everyone is "too busy", her friendliness is sincere."
