Please join us in celebrating January's DAISY Award recipient, Kody Eddy, RN, BSN, of Hurley Medical Center’s NTSB Neuro Trauma, Surgical Burn Unit! 🌼👏
A proud graduate of Kearsley High School and the University of Michigan–Flint, Kody has been part of the Hurley family for five years , and what an incredible journey it has been.
Kody began his nursing career in the ICU during one of the most challenging times in healthcare history, when the unit was dedicated to caring for COVID patients. With compassion, resilience, and unwavering dedication, he stepped up when patients and families needed him most. As the pandemic subsided, Kody transitioned to the Neuro Trauma unit, ready to embrace a new challenge.
“I wanted something completely new,” Kody shares. “I like that every day here is different. It’s fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. There is a great group here on this unit. They reinforce the ability to be yourself. That has really stood out, not only the quality of the nurses and the team, but also that those we work around allow you to be who you are.”
In his DAISY nomination, Kody is described as exceptionally kind and empathetic in every interaction. He consistently speaks with patience, listens attentively without rushing, and ensures that every question and concern is addressed. His care extends far beyond routine responsibilities, reflecting a deep respect for the human experience that accompanies illness, trauma, and loss.
That authenticity, combined with his clinical skill and heart for patients, is exactly why he is so deserving of this recognition. 🌟 His commitment to excellence, teamwork, and compassionate care makes a lasting impact on every life he touches.
Congratulations, Kody! Thank you for bringing your whole self to work each day and for the extraordinary care you provide to our patients and community. 💛
