In a moment of potential distress when he awoke from anesthesia, before my husband and I were brought back from the waiting room, Nurse Brancaccio stepped in and provided truly outstanding care. She calmed and reassured him, ensuring he felt safe and cared for during what could have been a frightening experience for a young child. What particularly impressed us was Nurse Brancaccio's commitment to empowering him. She explained everything directly to him in a clear and age-appropriate manner, fostering a sense of control and understanding. This respect and consideration had a profoundly positive impact on his overall experience. Throughout our time at Cohen Children's Medical Center, Nurse Brancaccio's kindness and compassion shone through in every interaction. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure he felt secure and supported during his recovery. Nurse Brancaccio exemplifies the qualities recognized by the DAISY Award. Her dedication to compassionate, patient-centered care made a significant difference for our family, and we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she provided to him. Thank you, Nurse Brancaccio, for making our experience at Cohen Children's Medical Center so positive and meaningful.
