Congratulations to our newest DAISY Award winner, Melanie! Melanie was nominated by a patient's son who praised Melanie's determination in getting his father active again. In his own words: "Melanie was the first to greet us and make us feel welcome. To be honest, the whole staff of the critical care unit was amazing, but I feel that Melanie was exceptional. She made it her personal goal to get my father back on his feet. She had four straight shifts with him and he went through Mel's 'bootcamp.' She got him up and in a chair, got him to wiggle his toes and respond to simple commands. She even got him to his feet! After weeks of being inactive we saw signs that he was coming back to us. He is now fully recovered and I feel it is in no small part due to Melanie's care, compassion, knowledge and persistence." This is truly such an inspiring story! Thank you, Melanie, for your determination, perseverance and compassion. You've created a lasting impact on this patient and his family's life. I am so proud to have you on our team!
