For the first time in its history, Martin Army Community Hospital participated in The DAISY Award. An international program that recognizes extraordinary nurses for the compassion, skill, and dignity they bring to patient care across healthcare systems worldwide. Being part of this global honor places MACH alongside hospitals everywhere that pause to recognize nursing excellence.
During this cycle, covering October through December 2025, MACH proudly recognized the following nominees: Spc. Holt, Ms. Danielle David, Ms. Holly Dominguez, Ms. Renee Holloway-Vaughan, Ms. Cynthia Nelson, Ms. Nakevia Holmes, and Ms. Joanna Wishart. Each nomination represents a moment when care went beyond expectation and left a lasting impact.
The DAISY Award recipient, Ms. Renee Holloway-Vaughan, was selected from this exceptional group. Her compassion and professionalism reflect not only individual excellence, but the standard of care delivered every day at Martin Army Community Hospital.
Congratulations to all the nominees and to Ms. Holloway-Vaughan—your work places MACH among the best in a worldwide community of caregivers.
