Congratulations to Lisa Hernandez, RN, on receiving a DAISY Award.
Here is what a colleague had to say about Lisa in her nomination:
"Lisa Hernandez exemplifies kindness, compassion, and professionalism. Her calm demeanor and steady presence provide healing and comfort to patients navigating the challenges of cancer.
Lisa recently supported a patient through a breast cancer diagnosis, leaving a deep and lasting impact. The patient called to share how Lisa's involvement transformed her care experience and even expressed a desire to raise awareness about the ONN role. She said, 'Lisa has been instrumental in the success of my care and cancer treatment. She has been such a unifier-bringing the members of my health care team together and keeping everyone updated about me.' Although the patient had a strong personal support system, she acknowledged that many patients do not-and emphasized how crucial the ONN role is in filling that gap.
Her dedication extends far beyond medical navigation. Lisa has provided compassionate care to a young, primarily Spanish-speaking mother undergoing breast cancer treatment. Lisa went out of her way to visit the patient's very young children during their mother's appointments."
Thank you for being helpful and welcoming, Lisa! We are proud of you. The DAISY Award recognizes outstanding nurses at Bryan.
