Congratulations to Jessica Postma, RN and Sally McMahon, CNP for being awarded a team DAISY Award submitted by a patient and his girlfriend.

The nomination commends Jessica Postma, RN for her kindness. She took extra time to explain things. The nominator wrote, "I can't thank her enough for her being our nurse tonight. He doesn't like doctors or hospitals and it was great seeing the twinkle in his eye and the excitement of a child cove over him for being treated so kindly and for having someone really listen to him."

The nomination for Sally McMahon, CNP, included this note: "Sally genuinely took the time to treat him as the beautiful lots of feelings human that is. . . Thank you for caring and being you! Stay pretty and being KIND!"

The DAISY Foundation was established by members of the family of Patrick Barnes. He was 33 years old and died of complications of an auto-immune disease. The family came up with DAISY – an acronym for Diseases Attaching the Immune System. During Patrick's 8 week illness, he received extraordinary care and his family was very impressed by the clinical care his nurses provided along with the compassion and kindness they brought to his bedside day in and day out. Thus, they created the DAISY Award.
