Celebrating ICU Nurse Denise Reyes: A Compassionate Story of the Daisy Award

It's Friday and we're #FeelingGood since we're celebrating ICU's Denise Reyes, RN, our Daisy Award winner!

While caring for a patient who was nearing the end of her life, Denise saw a husband overwhelmed, frightened and struggling to cope with the impending loss of his wife. She stayed with him, listened to his fears, offered comfort through quiet words and gentle kindness, and reminded him that he was not alone. The husband later shared that Denise was an angel sent to him in that moment. Because of Denise, this family's final moments together were met with dignity, compassion, and love.

The Daisy Award is an international recognition that honors the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. This award is given quarterly to caregivers throughout the year who exemplify our hospital's mission, go above and beyond to deliver exceptional care to their patients, and are collaborative team members.

Thank you Denise for your compassionate patient-centered care, and all you do on behalf of our patients and community! #DaisyAward
