Please join us in saying congratulations to Chris S. on winning a DAISY Award for exceptional care in nursing! 🌼 🏆
Chris is such an extraordinary nurse that he received nominations from both a colleague and a patient. Here's the heartfelt message the patient shared in the nomination:
"During my recent hospitalization at Baptist Medical Center Beaches, I was grateful for the excellent care I received from all the doctors, nurses, and CNAs. However, one individual truly stood out. Chris is a member of the third-floor nighttime nursing staff. Chris demonstrated a genuine interest and concern in my medical situation and consistently went above and beyond his responsibilities.
His calm demeanor and compassion helped ease my mind during a very frightening time. What made the greatest impression was his continued kindness and follow-up: this nurse stopped by my room multiple times, even when I was not his patient, and even after completing long shifts, simply to check on my well-being. Those gestures spoke volumes about his character and his commitment to patient care. In my opinion, Chris exemplifies the very best attributes of the nursing profession. He is a skilled professional, but what sets him apart is his ability to truly connect with patients.
His compassion, attentiveness, and genuine kindness made a significant difference for my family during a stressful and difficult experience. Chris is, without a doubt, an asset to the team. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to him on my behalf. His care made a lasting difference, and I am deeply grateful."
