Deena was nominated for the Daisy Award by a Veteran patient who described her as a “lifeline” during a life-threatening medical crisis. After undergoing a painful ureteroscopy, the patient experienced overwhelming pain and dangerously high blood pressure.
Dee immediately recognized the severity of the situation, activated the Rapid Response Team, contacted the Urologist, and stayed at the patient’s side throughout.
Her swift, compassionate actions and clear communication with the medical team ensured timely, life-saving care. The patient wrote, “Dee saw me not just as a patient, but as family. Her compassion, professionalism, and dedication truly saved my life.”

Congratulations to Deena for being selected as the Daisy Award Winner for December 2025!
