Deanna Owens is a wonderful nurse. She took care of my little girls and was always so kind and compassionate toward me and my children. There is nothing harder than leaving your children in the hospital. It is so reassuring to know that your children are left in the hands of someone who cares so much for them. Working as a therapist in the Level 2 nursery I get to see Deanna's continued care and compassion for all the babies she takes care of. She goes above and beyond. She incorporates whatever activities the therapist suggests into the babies daily routines and many of her own ideas that help to improve the babies’ motor and cognitive skills. She helps us set up and clean up our treatment materials, which allows us to spend more direct time treating the patient. Deanna is well deserving of the DAISY Award. MUSC is lucky to have her!!
