Please join us in honoring Hannah Potter, Clinical Nurse III from 3 Women's, and our newest DAISY Award recipient. A grateful patient shared their heartfelt appreciation for Hannah's extraordinary care during a profoundly difficult time:

"At 13 weeks pregnant, I learned my son had a high chance of having trisomy 13. After weeks of counseling and procedures, we knew our sweet boy wouldn't make it. At 17.5 weeks pregnant, I was induced and distraught. From the moment Hannah arrived, I felt like an angel was sent to me. Her care during labor was phenomenal. She knew what I needed just by looking into my tearful eyes. Hannah made it her priority to honor my wishes for my son. She helped me find a funeral home, contacted the hospital's chaplain, and made me feel like my son mattered more than anything. She let me hold my son for hours and delicately transferred him to my husband, addressing him by name with respect. Hannah never left our sides, writing down every word I spoke to my son. She created a memory box and facilitated pictures that I will cherish forever. Hannah made the darkest moment of my life brighter in ways I never imagined. My family and I will NEVER forget her impeccable care."

Help us thank Hannah for the exceptional compassion and dedication she brings to our patients and team.
