Please join us in congratulating Kenna Owens, RN, for receiving the DAISY Award! Kenna’s nomination highlighted her compassion, dedication, and exceptional care!

Kenna is a thorough nurse who exemplifies not only the BEST NURSE ever but also the Baptist principles of giving of yourself a million percent. She is kind, funny and looks for ways to make the patient's life easier. She instinctively knew I was afraid and came to my rescue with reassurance, kindness and teaching!! Kenna went the extra mile to comfort me and help with my activities of daily living and to comfort me spiritually. I will forever remember Kenna’s acts of kindness towards me!! She was selfless in making sure everything possible was done by her to make my stay comfortable and as positive as possible. She excels in everything she touches and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to be under her nursing care! She is the BEST NURSE EVER!!!
