Congratulations to Lemica Hampton, RN - Case Mangement for being our latest DAISY Award recipient!

"The Nurse Case Manager, Lemica, has the kindest and most gracious spirit I have ever encountered. She truly cares about each and every patient she encounters. She is constantly thinking outside the box to help patients discharge from the hospital safely. She has even been willing to call around for donation assistance for patients who need help paying rent, utilities or purchasing groceries. She has even bought dog food and gone to a patient’s home to feed their dog when they were hospitalized and were going to leave AMA because they had no one to help care for their pets. She truly has a servant’s heart."
