🌼 Thomas Hospitals Nurse Jennifer Bair Honored with DAISY Award 🌼
Please join us in congratulating Jennifer “Jenny” Bair, BSN, RN, CCRN, of the WVU Medicine Thomas Memorial Hospital ICU, on receiving the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses!
The DAISY Award celebrates nurses whose compassion and clinical excellence make a profound difference. Jenny exemplifies these qualities every day — providing not only exceptional care, but also dignity, comfort, and humanity for patients and families during their most vulnerable moments.
💛 Why Jenny Was Nominated
Graduate Nurse Kirsten Arthur nominated Jenny after witnessing an extraordinary act of compassion. Earlier this year, Jenny led the effort to arrange a wedding inside the ICU for a patient entering hospice care. She coordinated paperwork, decor, music, and staff support — creating a peaceful, intimate ceremony that brought comfort and cherished memories during a very difficult time.
Kirsten shared:
“Not many people would have done what she did for that family. She really went above and beyond.”
💬 Jenny’s Reflection
“Winning the DAISY Award so early in my nursing journey means the world to me. Being able to bring joy and hope by arranging a wedding for a couple entering hospice care showed me that even in the hardest moments, small acts of kindness can create unforgettable memories and comfort.”
🌟 A Leader in Compassionate Care
“Jenny exemplifies the heart of critical care nursing,” said Sherri Adams, Manager of Critical Care Services. “Her compassion, advocacy, and willingness to go above and beyond truly reflect the spirit of the DAISY Award.”
Please help us celebrate Jenny as she joins an international community of nurses recognized for their compassion, professionalism, and dedication to extraordinary patient care.
🎉 Congratulations, Jenny, on this well-deserved honor! 🌼
