Cortnie went above and beyond what her already selfless job entails. She is one of the best, most patient, kindest nurses we’ve ever met. Not only did she make sure that my husband was physically cared for, but she also made sure that, as the wife of a very sick man was emotionally cared for. She will never understand how much that meant, and how much she helped to ease my anxieties.

What stood out the most about Cortnie was that she took the time to genuinely connect with us. She learned who we were as people, not just a patient and his wife. That meant more than anyone would ever know. Especially in such a hard time in our lives. Cortnie is what true nursing looks like. She was so deeply human, endlessly kind, and compassionate. We truly believe that she is the perfect example of what the DAISY Award represents.

We are so grateful to have had her as a nurse!
