Shahbaz has been nominated by multiple patients and their family members, and their words speak volumes about the kind of nurse, and person he is. One family member shared, “He has so much compassion and his voice is so soothing, and he is so kind. He pays attention to detail and you can see that this is his true calling. He does everything with so much love and he is so caring. He is amazing.”

Another patient’s wife said, “Shahbaz was my husband’s nurse on the worst day of our life. My husband trusted him right away. His quick actions and the CCU staff gave me hope. The care provided will never be forgotten.” That kind of trust is not given lightly, it’s earned through genuine care, empathy, and professionalism.

And yet another nomination read, “He has been so kind, patient, and caring. He takes the time to talk with us and explains everything in such great detail. So very thankful for him and all that he is doing.” These words reflect the essence of nursing at its finest. Shahbaz’s dedication, his gentle presence, and his unwavering commitment to his patients are a true inspiration to all of us.

He embodies the spirit of the DAISY Award, compassion, excellence, and heartfelt care. Shahbaz, thank you for being a beacon of hope and healing. Your work touches lives in ways that go far beyond the clinical field. You remind us all why we chose this profession and what it means to truly care.
