We want to congratulate Jewell for her DAISY award! This is HUGE honor and we are so proud of her!

“I was induced at 39 weeks for my first baby and was
quite frankly scared to death. When I was checked in to the Women's Center, my nurse promptly came in to introduce herself and I immediately felt more at ease due to her calming presence. First and foremost, she made it a priority to educate me on and explain each step in the induction process to help me make decisions and advocate for myself. As we went over my birth plan, she was open and honest and gave me feedback on the topics I was unsure about. She never gave me a biased answer or tried to sway me to make any sort of decision I was not comfortable making and ensured that I had the appropriate information before making any decisions. While getting my epidural, she held my hand and was genuinely concerned with my level of comfort at all times.
When my blood pressure tanked after the epidural, she remained calm and make the right decisions to ensure my BP came back up promptly. Jewell P. was my nurse for 2 shifts and allowed me to trust her professionalism during one of the most important times of my adult life thus far. I am so thankful for her & I hope that this testimony is only a portion of the absolute rockstar nurse that she is.”

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say "thank you" to nurses in a very public way.

Please say thank you by sharing your story of how a nurse made a difference you will never forget!
