Julia Sutter, RN, GI Center, became the 73rd Blessing Hospital nurse to receive the international DAISY Award during a ceremony on July 19, 2022.
The patient who nominated Julia for the award said, “I know I wasn't an easy case. My medications, health history and age only increased her workload. I can't remember when I have had such exceptional care. Julia left no stone unturned - everything was done with exactness and extreme care.”
DAISY stands for “Diseases Attacking the Immune System.” The family of a 33-year-old man, who died of an immune system disorder, began the program in 1999 to honor his memory by recognizing extraordinary nurses everywhere who make a difference in the lives of people by the work they do every day. More than 4,800 healthcare providers worldwide participate in the DAISY Award program.
DAISY award nomination forms are located on all nursing units throughout Blessing Hospital and on the internet at blessinghealth.org/recognize.
